When you need a break from helping a loved one with their age-related needs, our respite care providers in Whittier can be there for you. We understand caring for a loved one can be challenging. All too often, unpaid family caregivers burn the candle at both ends until they feel physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. Our support enables these individuals to continue playing a major role in their loved one’s care while also having the time to look after their own needs.

What is Respite Care?

At Visiting Angels Whittier, we consider respite care to be so much more than a set of services. For families in need of help, this type of support is a lifeline. Rather than putting one of our care professionals in the place of family caregivers, this type of care takes a collaborative approach. Family caregivers can call on our team to step in when they need a few hours or days away from their duties, or they can request ongoing support through regularly scheduled home care visits.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Whittier

Because this approach to care is so flexible, it can accommodate almost any senior care need. It doesn’t matter whether your loved one is struggling with senior isolation or has difficulty bathing on their own. We will match them with a care provider from our team who can offer the level of care they require to maintain their well-being while you’re taking a break.

Here are some of the ways we’re able to assist seniors in Whittier:

• Doing laundry and vacuuming
• Meal planning and preparation
• Engaging in conversations and social activities
• Reminding seniors about their medications
• Helping out with personal care routines

Getting Started with Respite Care

With our help, you can avoid encountering the harmful effects of caregiver burnout. Rather than spending all your time and energy attempting to meet your loved one’s needs, you can pencil in time to care for yourself. This will allow you to rest and recover from the demands of caregiving. As a result, you can return to caring for your loved one feeling energetic and ready to take on any challenges that could arise.
