When your caregiving schedule becomes too demanding, our respite care services are here for you. Our local care agency in Bergen County works to promote the quality of life of both elderly adults and the compassionate family members who care for them. When you arrange to have one of our care providers come by to take over your duties for a temporary period, you can finally have the time for self-care that you need to maintain your well-being.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care can be tailored to the individual needs of different families in Bergen County. At Visiting Angels^® Ramsey, we know how diverse the circumstances of families in the local area can be. Some family caregivers are simply offering a helping hand for a loved one, while others provide nearly around-the-clock support. We can arrange our services to assist you no matter what your situation looks like.

We like to think of these services as a lifeline for family caregivers. By offering a support system for these hardworking individuals, we help prevent caregiver burnout and allow families to maintain strong relationships even during challenging times.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Bergen County

Our caregiving team is capable of delivering a wide range of supportive services. Rather than focusing on one type of care when offering respite for family caregivers, we build personalized care plans. This means your loved one can receive high-quality care whether they are dealing with a chronic condition, memory disorder, mobility limitations, or senior isolation.

Here’s a quick list of some of the services our care providers are often requested to deliver:

• Assistance with light household chores
• Help with getting dressed, showering, and grooming
• Emotional support and friendship
• Reminders about medications and schedules
• Transportation for running errands and going to appointments

Getting Started with Respite Care

Waiting to reach out for help can be detrimental to your ability to care for your loved one. Many family caregivers who endure burnout find they feel mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, which prevents them from offering the attentive care their loved one needs.

Getting started with respite care is easy. Just contact our local care agency to request support, and we’ll reserve a convenient time to visit with you for a free consultation. After answering all of your questions regarding the care process, we’ll make expert suggestions for your loved one’s care plan and match them with a qualified care provider.
