Respite Care in North Pittsburgh

When helping a loved one maintain their independence at home is your main priority in life, you may soon realize that putting your own needs on the back burner can lead to burnout. Taking time off from caregiving to rest and invest in self-care is essential to maintaining the energy and empathy you require as a family caregiver. Respite care delivered by a care professional from Visiting Angels^® North Pittsburgh can ensure both your needs and the needs of your loved one are met.

What is Respite Care?

At Visiting Angels North Pittsburgh, respite care takes the form of customized home care services delivered according to the preferences and care requirements of a senior and their family caregiver. We match families with care professionals who can visit seniors at home and assist them with their daily routines while their family caregiver takes a well-deserved break. This type of short-term or temporary care can ease the demands on family caregivers and make their list of responsibilities more manageable.

How Respite Care Helps

Because our care providers can offer care that covers a wide range of needs and accommodates different living circumstances, you can have confidence that we will be able to assist your loved one. Even seniors with difficult chronic conditions and memory disorders can receive care that is meticulously tailored to help them safely cope with their symptoms while their family caregiver is away.

This type of care can cover needs such as:

• Help with getting dressed, bathing, and completing grooming routines
• Planning, preparing, serving, and cleaning up after meals
• Companionship, uplifting social interaction, and emotional support
• Remembering to take medication and attend scheduled appointments
• Support with general mobility, walking, and running errands
• Light housekeeping tasks such as making beds and doing laundry
