What Is It and How We Help

Family caregivers often find themselves stretched too thin. Helping an aging loved one, parenting children at home, working, and any number of other obligations can make every day a struggle. If you're a family caregiver who is struggling to keep on top of all of your responsibilities, respite care can help. At Visiting Angels^® Boerne, we provide respite care for families in Fredericksburg and throughout the local area.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a type of home care that allows caregivers to maintain balance in their own lives, so they can take care of themselves and ensure their loved one continues to have the personalized care and attention they need and deserve. At Visiting Angels^® Boerne, we provide care that can help with any number of activities and needs. Some of the most common ways we assist seniors include:

• Meal preparation
• Light housekeeping tasks
• Transportation to appointments or activities
• Friendly conversation
• Assistance with dressing and toileting
• Transferring assistance
• Wandering prevention for those with memory disorders

How Our Respite Care in Fredericksburg Can Help

Our services help families in a variety of ways, including:

Support and Relief.

Our care not only helps with the most difficult or stressful tasks, but we can look after your loved one at times when you have other commitments or just need time to look after yourself. 

Personalized Care.

All our care, including respite, is personalized to meet the unique needs of your loved one. Careful consideration is also given to intangible needs, such as matching your loved one with a caregiver who has a complementary personality and temperament. 

Stress-free, uncomplicated, and affordable care.

Family members often hesitate to reach out for help because they are worried about finances, feel guilty about needing help, or are worried about safety and security. At Visiting Angels Boerne, we don’t want any of these issues to be an obstacle.

First and foremost, you should never feel guilty about asking for help. Caring for an aging loved one is hard work. It can be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. Asking for help is the smart thing to do.

You might also be surprised to learn that respite care is more affordable than you’d previously thought. We offer hourly rates and flexible scheduling to make our care accessible to as many families as possible.

With Visiting Angels Boerne, you never have to worry about safety. All of our caregivers have undergone a comprehensive background check and interview process. Further, we look for individuals who demonstrate high levels of empathy, trustworthiness, caring, and respect.
