When you arrange respite care services from Visiting Angels^® Tacoma, you can finally have time to take care of your own needs while ensuring your loved one’s needs are also being met. As a family caregiver, you may not know how you can continue to fulfill your loved one’s age-related requirements throughout their aging journey. Our care professionals can help by visiting on a short-term, temporary, or ongoing basis and providing supportive care that gives you much-needed time off to rest, recuperate, and take a break from your many duties.

What is Respite Care?

Our respite care services at Visiting Angels Tacoma can take the form of a wide range of senior care services, from specialized memory care and advanced personal caregiving services to companion care. With all forms of assistance available for your loved one, you can have total peace of mind they’re in safe hands whenever you’re unavailable for the day or afternoon.

In this way, our respite care services create a support system for family caregivers that enables them to avoid the negative effects of burnout. Caregiving for a spouse, parent, or grandparent isn’t just a challenge. It can be mentally, physically, and even emotionally exhausting. It’s crucial you’re able to take time off as needed and engage in self-care in order to continue providing the quality support your loved one deserves.
