Home Care Assistance: Respite Help for Family Caregivers
When you have elderly or disabled loved ones you may find yourself stepping in regularly to lend a hand. Particularly when your parents are the ones in need, many adults will go out of their way to assist their loved one. Over time, your loved one's increased needs can put a strain on your time and personal life. If you are trying to juggle caring for your loved one along with your own family, career, social obligations, and more, you may end up feeling burnt out or overwhelmed. Home care assistance from a professional agency, such as Visiting Angels® Jenkintown, can take the pressure off family caregivers.
Respite care can provide you with an opportunity to refresh and do things for yourself, such as:
- Spend time with other family members or friends
- Run your own errands
- Exercise or join a fitness class
- Pamper yourself with a haircut or nail appointment
- Engage in activities you enjoy
- Just relax and take it easy
Decide if you would benefit most from a day off every week to focus on your needs, or a few hours per day, and let home care assistance from Visiting Angels Jenkintown care for your loved one during your break.
