Balancing Care Between Family Members and Professional Senior Caregivers in Eldersburg, MD

Seniors in Eldersburg, MD receive comprehensive in-home care when family caregivers and our professional senior caregivers work together as a team

If you are providing care for your senior loved one, you certainly know just how much caregiving can be challenging at times. Most likely you will have to balance care with other important things in your life such as career, raising kids, taking a vacation and so on. Without the right kind of support to back you up, you risk your physical and emotional well-being.

While the purpose of caregiving is to raise the bar on your mom or dad’s quality of life, it is equally important that you look after your own well-being, too. If you are able to take good care of yourself, you will be able to provide even better care for your aging family member. With that being said, one of the best options for you and your loved one is working with a professional agency like Visiting Angels Eldersburg that can adequately support you.

Coordinating Care with Professional Senior Caregivers

When hiring professional assistance, there are several areas where complementing care and having additional support can come in very handy. These six considerations can play an important role in improving the quality of life not only for the care recipient, but for their primary caregiver as well:

  • Care scheduling – When scheduling care, taking into account your loved one’s routine will be your priority. At the same time, you also need to make a schedule that works for you. A great home care agency will be able to tailor a schedule that balances these needs.
  • Care responsibilities – Having someone with whom you can split your care responsibilities is a blessing. Even better, senior caregivers from a home care agency can handle more difficult tasks while you can focus on providing care for your loved one in those areas that you find enjoyable.
  • Respite care – Sure enough, caregiving can be both stressful and time-consuming. Occasionally, you will need a break to prevent feeling overworked and burnt out. Working with a professional agency will enable you to get respite whenever you need it.
  • Cooperative care – There are certain activities of caregiving that you cannot perform alone - and then there are some that are much easier when performed with someone’s help.
  • Companionship – Splitting care between you and professional senior caregivers also means you will not have to worry that your loved one spends too much time home alone.
  • Flexibility – In most cases, leading home care agencies offer flexible care plans that can be upgraded and adjusted if your loved one’s needs change over time.

"A Visiting Angel has been assisting my wife and I for nearly four years and we could not be more pleased with her. Not only is she competent, punctual and conscientious in her work, she has become a friend, sharing family photos, wedding pictures and Facebook posts. We are equally appreciative of the Visiting Angels support staff. In a world where it often seems like customer service is nonexistent, the Angels care coordinators are consistently responsive, cheerful and helpful."
