Respite Care in Lancaster: 5 Benefits for Seniors and Family Members Caring for Them
At Visiting Angels® Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula, we understand you need a break. Are you sandwiched between care for your children or grandchildren and your elder loved one? Our respite care option is a great fit for many Lancaster area families. Let us jump in!
This care plan includes flexible part-time assistance from one of our amazing caregivers. The goal is to assist family care providers and provide you with the chance to take breaks or vacations to go out of town whenever you need. We offer flexible scheduling, including check-ins or live-in care, and an abundance of support for you and your loved one.
Respite care can be a great way for seniors to get started and comfortable with home care. Let's go over some of the benefits that this type of senior care can provide.
5 Ways Our Respite Care in Lancaster Can Help You & Your Loved One
- Getting mom used to the idea of care. Beginning with part-time respite care can help seniors adjust to the idea of having an outsider in their home. We can have our caregiver dress in plain clothes if you need us to and you can say they are a friend from church if it helps.
- Reduce mom's stress. With a reliable professional taking care of their daily needs, they'll be able to go through life without worrying about every little thing.
- Wake up greater independence. We can get mom or dad out doing activities they used to love again. Home care provides seniors with much more customized independent 1:1 than the ratio in a facility. We are committed to helping you keep your loved one safe and happy in their own home.
- Increase and renew mom's social circle and yours at the same time! With one of our caregivers around, your loved one will have someone to talk to and interact with when you're not around or someone to drive them to visit their friends or get their home and a meal ready for a visitor. Many seniors suffer from a lack of human contact. Our help renews their social activity and is proven to benefit mental and emotional health. You can feel safe that mom is in good hands with us when you go visit YOUR friends again after getting a break in providing care.
- Happy memories of a break for you. With a professional caregiver handling things, you'll have an opportunity to simply relax and enjoy the time you spend with your loved one.
