What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is short-term or temporary home care that offers a much-needed break from your primary caregiver duties. With the support of an experienced care provider, you'll have time to focus on work, attend to personal tasks, and connect with other loved ones.
Respite care can also help recharge your batteries and reduce the risk of “caregiver burnout," which can occur when the stress and emotional strain of care responsibilities becomes overwhelming.
Short-term senior care can provide an immediate positive impact. If you need to rest and recuperate, Visiting Angels can provide in-home services while you focus on your well-being. If your daily or weekly caregiving routine has become too demanding, our dedicated caregivers can conduct regular respite care visits to lighten your load.

FAQs About Respite Care
Do I Need to Hire Respite Care Services?
No matter how overwhelmed, exhausted, or strained you become, you may resist the idea of respite care. This often stems from feelings of guilt. By hiring outside caregivers, you may feel you’ve failed your loved one in a time of great need.
Here’s another way of thinking about this issue: If you are constantly stressed and exhausted, you’ll be less patient with your loved one, more prone to mistakes, and at an ever-greater risk of total burnout. Respite services will make caregiving more manageable and give you time to care for yourself.
Ultimately, that’s one of the best things you can do for your loved one.
Will My Loved One Get the Same Level of Care?
You know your loved one better than anyone else. So, you might worry that a respite caregiver won’t provide the level of care you do. For our clients, that concern disappears when they see a Visiting Angels professional caregiver at work. We take extraordinary pride in our work, approaching clients with a remarkable level of care, respect, and compassion.
