Signs You Need Respite Care

Full-time caregiving can lead to what we commonly call ‘caregiver burnout’. This happens when we are too tired to balance the caregiving for a senior with our own work or family responsibilities. The stress gets to be overwhelming for us. It can trigger anxiety, and even resentments toward the person we are caring for.

It’s helpful to understand that taking a break for yourself doesn’t mean you are selfish. In fact, quite the opposite. When you take better care of yourself, you are able to show up 100% for the people who need you! If you’re not catering to your diet, exercising, taking breaks, and making sure you’re emotionally stable you can’t provide your loved one with quality care.

Our professional respite caregivers will treat your loved one with respect and compassion, giving you peace of mind during your time away.
