Visiting Angels offers respite care at home to seniors in Groton, Old Lyme, Mystic, Norwich, Waterford and surrounding communities in Connecticut to ensure elderly adults receive the care they need in the comfort of their own home while allowing family caregivers to take some time to relax

Taking care of an aging loved one is one of the noblest things you can do. By providing your parent with the assistance and support they need to maintain their dignity and independence, you are allowing them to remain safely at home and enjoy their routine for longer. But while you are caring for your loved one, it is important not to forget to care for yourself.

Whenever you need a break, respite care at home from Visiting Angels can step in and look after your parent while you are resting and restoring your energy. We know that your loved one's health and well-being are your priority, but you also need to take care of yourself and your needs. To be the best possible caregiver, you need to be good toward yourself - to exercise, eat a healthy diet, spend some time doing the things you love, and more.

Respite care at home allows you to do all those things you had no time for and regain your strength while knowing your parent is in good hands.

What Respite Care Can Do for You and Your Loved One

At Visiting Angels, we will make a personalized plan of care for your loved one and match them with one of our loving caregivers. Your chosen care provider can visit your parent's home for a couple of hours per day or a few times a week, whenever you need some time off.

Our respite care at home program includes assistance with a wide range of tasks around the home, including but not limited to light housekeeping, meal preparation, assistance with personal care, running errands, shopping, and more.

With Visiting Angels, your loved one will also have a compassionate friend for conversations and enjoyable activities. As we work hard on building and nurturing the relationships between our caregivers and clients, your loved one will look forward to these visits and you can have peace of mind that they are getting the best possible care in your absence.
