Caring for a loved one may feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Respite care delivered by the care professionals at Visiting Angels^® Lewisville makes it possible for family caregivers in the local area to take breaks as needed. The simple step of taking time for yourself can help you regain the energy you need to care for your loved one while maintaining a cherished relationship with them.

What is Respite Care?

You can think of this kind of care as a support system or safety net that ensures you never have to undergo the serious effects of caregiver burnout. In contrast to some of the other types of care offered by our agency, respite care leaves you in the leading role of your loved one's care. Our professionals are ready to step in when you need to take a break for a few hours or a vacation for a few weeks. We can even set up ongoing care visits that give you regular time off to tend to other priorities in your personal life or career.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Lewisville

One of the biggest benefits of respite care is that it helps family caregivers preserve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being without giving up the challenges of their responsibilities. However, this form of care is also advantageous for seniors. It allows care recipients to have new and inspiring conversations and social interactions and also ensures the care they receive is always top notch.

Examples of services our care providers commonly provide are:

• Dignified aid with getting dressed and bathing
• Reminders about taking medications
• Help with preparing and serving meals
• Running basic errands and going shopping
• Doing light chores and household activities
• Offering social support and companionship
