When caring for a loved one becomes more of a challenge than a joy, it may be an indicator that you need to take a step back from your duties for a moment. The good news is you can ensure your loved one is in safe hands while you take time off. At Visiting Angels^® Southern New Mexico, we offer respite care services trusted by families in Roswell and the surrounding areas. Our care providers aim to help family caregivers like yourself find balance and avoid burnout while increasing elderly adults' quality of life as they age in place.

What is Respite Care?

While you may be familiar with the concept of home care, respite care may be a term that is new to you. This form of care differs slightly from other home care services in a few ways. First, you'll retain your role as your loved one's main care provider. Rather than taking over your duties for the long term, our caregivers for the Roswell area will step in as needed. Second, respite care is more often delivered on a temporary basis, such as while a family caregiver is out of town. These differences make this care type an ideal option for family caregivers who feel overwhelmed and simply need a bit of a break from time to time.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Roswell

In addition to helping you pencil in some time alone, we'll also help your loved one thrive as they age in place. We always customize the care we offer to meet the needs and preferences of individual seniors. We'll even make a custom caregiver match based on your loved one's personality, lifestyle, care requirements, and personal circumstances.

Our caregivers frequently help out in the following ways:

• Preparing meals for seniors
• Accompanying seniors to appointments
• Gently reminding seniors about taking medications
• Taking care of basic chores around the house
• Developing relationships with seniors to prevent social isolation
