If you're an unpaid family caregiver who could use a bit of support managing your caregiving duties, respite care is the answer. At Visiting Angels^® Eureka, we understand that many family caregivers find joy in helping their loved ones, but often feel overwhelmed by the demanding schedule of caregiving. Our professional care providers can step in from time to time to assist with your loved one's needs so you can take a break and avoid feeling burned out. In addition to providing care that gives family caregivers much-needed relief, we also deliver high-quality care that benefits seniors with all kinds of age-related issues.

What is Respite Care?

There's not necessarily a universal approach to respite care at Visiting Angels Eureka. Instead, this form of care is flexible to ensure it meets the unique needs of different families. In many cases, local family caregivers ask for support on a temporary basis or for a short-term period so they can go on vacation, tend to a family emergency, or simply have time off to engage in self-care. Our professional care visits can also be booked on a regular basis to deliver ongoing assistance that makes family caregivers' routines more manageable and less stressful. No matter what kind of schedule you choose, you can count on us to deliver exceptional care for your loved one that gives you peace of mind.
