Respite care is an excellent option for family caregivers who want to avoid becoming overwhelmed or burned out by their demanding schedule. At Visiting Angels^® Germantown, we go the extra mile to support family caregivers by ensuring they can schedule a vacation or short break from their duties without worrying about sacrificing the quality of their loved one’s care. Our care providers deliver services throughout the local area and form a compassionate support system for families who need it most.

What is Respite Care?

In contrast to many other forms of senior care for the Germantown area, respite care leaves family caregivers in the lead. Rather than taking over as your loved one’s main source of assistance, our care professionals will offer supplemental support you can schedule as needed. Whether you want to book care visits for a short-term stretch or on an ongoing basis, having this option will allow you to rest, recharge, and pursue other interests in your life. As a result of this more balanced lifestyle, you will be an overall better caregiver for your loved one.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Germantown

All of our standard services are available through respite care visits, including specialized memory care for elderly adults with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Before initiating care for your loved one, we’ll sit down with you both to develop their individualized care plan and pair them with a care provider who best suits their needs and personality.

Your loved one’s care provider could help out in the following ways:

• Going grocery shopping and preparing meals
• Running errands, such as to the pharmacy
• Providing friendship and emotional support
• Assisting with personal care routines
• Doing light chores around the house
• Offering timely reminders to take medications
