When caring for someone dear to your heart prevents you from maintaining your own well-being, you may find that you're on the path to burnout. Respite care offers a solution for unpaid family caregivers in the Port Huron area who need a break from the demands of their caregiving obligations.

At Visiting Angels^® St. Clair, we realize many family caregivers feel they have to go it alone in order to ensure their loved ones are properly cared for. We have a compassionate team of care professionals who offer high-quality assistance for elderly adults across the Port Huron area. Getting started with our respite care services can enable you to enjoy time away from your caregiving duties while having full confidence your loved one is in the safe hands of a fully vetted professional.

What is Respite Care?

Above all, respite care is a support system for local families who are struggling to navigate the changing needs of a loved one. Whenever you feel exhausted or overwhelmed, you can reach out to us to help you take a break. Time away from your normal caregiving routine can give you the opportunity to engage in self-care and feel re-energized. That way, you can continue acting as the attentive and empathetic caregiver your loved one needs to face the challenges ahead.
