Common Concerns About Respite Care
Can I afford respite services?
Although hourly rates vary from agency to agency, these services are usually provided by the hour. This means you will have financial flexibility when scheduling care.
Will care be scheduled in a way that fits my loved one's needs?
Even if you need to schedule care for a specific day and time each week, there is no reason to worry. Visiting Angels of Aspen Hill will create a schedule that fits your needs, routine, and lifestyle.
Will your caregivers tend to my loved one's unique needs?
Every senior has unique care needs and preferences, which is why it's important that care is customized on a person-to-person basis. Our care coordinators will make every effort to personalize your loved one's home care services.
What if my loved one needs specialized senior care?
Seniors who are struggling with significant physical issues or cognitive decline require specialized in-home care. If your parent needs assistance with bathing or toileting, our personal care services can provide the support they need. On the other hand, if your parent has Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia, our memory care services can help them stay safe and comfortable.
Our respite care services will make caregiving more manageable and give you time to look after yourself.
