Visiting Angels respite care gives you time back into your day. Our caregivers are here to help your loved one in Chelsea, East Cambridge, and Nearby Cities

Caring for a loved one is one of the most generous and caring things you can do. Whether you’re caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s or a disabled sibling, you’re providing the assistance they need to continue living safely at home. But what do you do when you need a break? The in home respite care program from Visiting Angels of Chelsea, MA is here to help.

Being a family caregiver is a rewarding, yet demanding role. To provide the best possible care, you need to be sure you are also taking good care of yourself. Attending to your own diet, incorporating exercise, taking breaks, and looking after your emotional well-being is essential. Many family caregivers find it difficult to spend time focusing on their own needs, when their loved one is the focus of their attention. Respite care allows you to disengage for a few hours or a few days to rest and recharge.

How Respite Care Helps

At Visiting Angels of Chelsea MA, our in home care program matches your loved one with one of our friendly and compassionate caregivers. Caregivers can visit for a few hours a day or several times a week to provide family caregivers with the opportunity to run errands, go to work, take a vacation, or simply rest and recharge.

When our caregivers visit, they will quickly put your loved one at ease. While engaging in friendly conversation, caregivers can also aid with a wide variety of home care needs. Our caregivers can help your loved one with dressing and bathing, transferring assistance, and other personal care needs. They can also help around the house performing simple chores and preparing healthy meals. The engaged care we provide makes it easy for your loved one to look forward to these visits and can help relieve the anxiety or guilt you may feel by stepping away for a few hours.

How to Get Started

If you’ve been feeling burnt out or are finding yourself feeling frustrated with your caregiver role, now is a good time to consider in home care. Taking care of yourself is vitally important. Respite care for seniors provides the break you need to rest and regroup.

Getting started is easy. Simply get in touch with our senior care office. We can match your loved one with a caregiver who can provide the assistance they need. Home care for seniors is offered on an hourly basis so you can establish the frequency and scope of care that best meets your needs. Because our senior care services are flexible, should your loved one require more engaged care in the future, we can expand our role to include companion care, personal care, or even care for Alzheimer’s or dementia.
