NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL FAMILY CAREGIVERS MONTH. HUG YOUR CAREGIVER!
Scrambling for sanity? If you are the caregiver in the family, be it for a spouse, a parent, or an adult child, treat yourself to a break.
If you are like most folks, you want to do all you can to help your loved one, but we all have limits. Perhaps it's time to consider respite care.
Respite care is temporary “relief” care that enables a caregiver to get some rest, attend to important business or personal issues, take a vacation, even attend a graduation or wedding!
A day, a half day, even a few hours away can resolve exhaustion and depression, and put things back in perspective. If you do not have family member close by, or friend to lend a helping hand, call Visiting Angels to arrange for respite care either on a short term, or intermittent basis.
Angels can assist with the daily routine, monitoring meals and medications, as well as encouraging exercise and social activity. Would you want anyone but an award winning homecare agency taking care your loved one?
Whether the need is due to age, surgery, illness, accident, dementia, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, we are available as much or as little as you need us, day or night, in the Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens and West Palm Beach area.
Till Next Time!
Irv Seldin, JD, President and Owner, Visiting Angels of the Palm Beaches
