When your overwhelming responsibilities as a family caregiver begin to have a negative impact on your well-being, it may be time to make a change. Family caregivers often find that they have little time for self-care, which puts them at risk of burnout. Rather than feeling physically and emotionally depleted, you can get the rest you need to recharge while continuing to act as your loved one's family caregiver. Our respite care services in the West Metro make it possible.

What is Respite Care?

At Visiting Angels,^® we have years of experience and completely understand that the burden of caregiving can often feel overwhelming. While you want to provide your loved one with all the support they need, you only have so much energy to spare. Without the chance to rest and recuperate, you simply won't be able to assist them to the extent that they may need.

With visits from a respite care provider in the Twin Cities, you can have the opportunity to focus on your own needs without neglecting your loved one's care. A professional caregiver will assist your loved one with aging in place while you concentrate on other priorities and experience the benefits of self-care. These care visits are flexible, meaning you can choose to take regular breaks from caregiving or plan a short-term vacation that you can enjoy free from worry.
