Sometimes family members choose to provide care for their loved one themselves, but providing such care can be overwhelming. In these situations, Respite Care can be an immense relief. Our in-home caregivers serve as an extra set of hands, temporarily relieving family members of daily care duties, thereby creating space for rest or other activities. Respite Care can assist you in meeting the ongoing daily needs of your loved one.
You can avoid assisted living facilities and nursing homes and still get professional help in caring for your elder loved one. Respite caregivers can provide assistance with personal hygiene, ambulation, medication reminders, meal preparation and companionship. You choose the services which are beneficial to you and your loved one.
Visiting Angels Chicago Lakeshore provided valued support for my wife during the final days before her death of ALS. The staff of Visiting Angels Chicago Lakeshore was especially helpful.
