When caring for a parent, grandparent, or spouse becomes your main priority, you may believe you can postpone meeting your own needs for rest and respite. However, overworking yourself as a caregiver can have negative consequences for both you and your loved one. In addition to experiencing burnout, it is possible that you will not be able to give your loved one quality care due to your sense of exhaustion. One way to avoid this scenario is to get started with respite care services delivered by care professionals in Beaver County.

At Visiting Angels^® Beaver, we are pursuing the mission of helping seniors age in place. To achieve this goal, though, we believe we must also support family caregivers. We offer a special type of home care that considers family caregivers' need for time off while ensuring their loved ones are supported in their absence.

What is Respite Care?

We often view this care type as a lifeline or support system for family caregivers. You will still play the lead role in your loved one's care when you get started with these services. However, you will also know that you can take a break whenever it's needed. At your convenience, you can schedule visits from a care professional who will be ready to assist your loved one with their daily routines and senior care requirements.

With this newfound sense of support, you can choose to take an extended vacation and get the rest you need. Another way you can use our services is to schedule regular breaks as part of your normal caregiving routine, making your duties more manageable and ensuring you always feel energized and ready to help your loved one.
