When caregiving becomes too much to handle on your own, you can still play a role in your loved one's care while also benefitting from the support of a respite care provider. At Visiting Angels^® Elmwood Park, we know what hard work caregiving can be. Meeting the needs of a loved one is not only physically exhausting; it can also take a toll on your mental and emotional health if you do not take frequent breaks. With the help of our professional care providers, you can make certain you take time off to rest and rejuvenate so you can be the best caregiver possible for your loved one.  

What is Respite Care?

Respite care can take many different forms, but one of the most common ones is care for a short-term or temporary period. Unpaid family caregivers often have one of our professional care team members step in so they can go on vacation or spend time on self-care. However, this isn't the only way our services can be used. We can also book ongoing care visits on a weekly or monthly basis to make your caregiving routine more manageable and ensure you always have the ability to pencil in time for yourself.
