With our respite care service for local families, Visiting Angels^® Tifton helps to ease the stress of caring for an elderly relative. We provide care in the homes of local seniors to relieve family care providers and help you avoid caregiver burnout. For those that want to remain directly involved in their loved one's care without the stress of managing it all on their own, this care plan is the right choice. We can offer full or part-time assistance, scheduled to meet your needs. 

What is Respite Care?

Respite care involves visits from one of our care professionals, designed to assist family care providers and make life easier for your whole family. At Visiting Angels Tifton, we take pride in delivering the same level of warm, loving, and compassionate support that a member of your own family would provide, so you never have to worry about your loved one's safety or comfort while you're away.

Respite care can be extremely helpful for overnight care, giving the family caregiver time to catch up on sleep and rest. It is also beneficial with regular scheduled daytime visits to give the family time to attend to their own physical, spiritual and mental wellbeing. 

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Tifton

We work hard to match our care plans to the specific needs of each senior. Some of our typical support duties may include:

• Bathing, grooming, and toileting support
• Mobility aid and fall prevention 
• Light housework, errands, laundry, meal prep, etc.
• Conversation and companionship
• Medication reminders and other memory help

Getting Started with Respite Care

With our flexible respite care, Visiting Angels Tifton provides crucial support for families throughout Tifton, Cook County, Ashburn, Cordele, Vienna, Unadilla, and the surrounding areas. For every senior, we take the time to create a unique, customized, care plan that matches their needs while promoting greater independence than they would experience in a care facility. 

As part of our goal to create happy and fulfilling home lives for each senior, we provide families with a free care consultation before getting started. This allows us to adjust our care and set up a plan that makes sense for their situation. Our goal is to reduce fall risks and create a more convenient and comfortable home life where they can age in place with dignity and peace.
