Respite Care in Bismarck

When the demands of being a family caregiver color your appreciation of the rewards, taking a break can help you find your balance.

Because our care providers are carefully vetted and are known to deliver high-quality services with compassion, you will always know your loved one is in safe, caring, and capable hands while you're away.

What is Respite Care?

Many family caregivers believe they have to do it all on their own, and these individuals often don't realize respite care is even an option. If this type of care is new to you, you may be wondering what it entails. Generally, these services are offered on a short-term basis, meaning family caregivers can request support from a care provider for a set period of time. While a member of our caregiving team in the Bismarck area delivers temporary assistance for the senior, the family caregiver will have time to take a vacation, focus on personal or professional priorities, or simply get some rest and relaxation.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Bismarck

Respite care helps family caregivers avoid caregiver burnout, a condition that can have serious consequences for their ability to continue providing care for their loved one. Caregiver burnout often results in negative physical effects, emotional depletion, and mental fog. Taking a break is one of the best ways to prevent burnout and the related effects. 

While you are spending time alone, a care professional can help your loved one in Bismarck by:

• Assisting with their daily routines and basic activities
• Helping keep their home neat and tidy
• Providing them with social interaction and emotional support
• Reminding them to take their medications
• Accompanying them to appointments, events, or errands
