What is In-Home Senior Care and How Can It Help Elderly Adults
Respite care from Visiting Angels provides quality in-home care for seniors and relief for family caregivers in Gaithersburg, Germantown, Potomac and surrounding areas in MD.
Looking after a senior loved one is an incredibly rewarding experience. It is one of the most generous things we can do. However, we all need a break every now and again in order to recharge our batteries so we can go back and give it our best. With respite care from Visiting Angels Gaithersburg, you can take some time for yourself while your loved one receives quality care from a professional and compassionate caregiver.
The Consequences of Caregiver Burnout
Although looking after a family member that needs our help is incredible, it can also be very stressful on our minds and bodies. To make sure you can give your loved one 100 percent at all times, you need to be looking after yourself as well. Just as it is important for your loved one to eat well, stay active, get plenty of exercise and relax, it is crucial to focus on your well-being, too. However, you may be having a hard time giving yourself a break.
You may be thinking that it is selfish to do so and have a lot of guilt. However, in order to ensure your loved one's well-being and safety, you must take care of yourself first. You know how they always tell you if a plane is going down to put on your oxygen mask first before helping someone else? This is kind of like that.
At Visiting Angels Gaithersburg, we can help take the burden off your shoulders by providing the in-home respite care your loved one needs. We work around your loved one's schedule (and yours, as well), so you can take a break from being a family caregiver for awhile and focus on your other needs.
