When you're focused on meeting your loved one's needs, you may eventually realize you've been failing to meet your own needs for quite some time. Burning the candle at both ends is common among family caregivers, which is why caregiver burnout is now recognized as a phenomenon. Taking some time off from the demands of working as an unpaid family caregiver may be essential to your personal well-being as well as the quality of care your loved one is able to enjoy. Fortunately, you can always turn to the respite care providers at Visiting Angels^® Stratford for assistance when you need to take a break.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care covers a broad spectrum of senior home care services and is delivered by a care professional while a senior's family caregiver takes time off. We make it easy to schedule care visits thanks to our flexible approach, which means you can ensure you're able to take a break when it's most needed. Furthermore, you can use your time to get some much-desired rest or even go on vacation. The main point is for you to have the opportunity to invest in self-care and thus return to caregiving feeling refreshed and energized.
