When a loved one needs help with daily living at home, it's natural to want to be by their side all the time. However, the truth is that spending some time alone can help you recharge and find balance as you continue caring for your loved one. Consider getting started with respite care services delivered by the professional care providers at Visiting Angels^® Santa Fe. We will give you the opportunity to take a break so you can focus on other priorities and relationships in your life and return to caregiving feeling rested and refreshed.

What is Respite Care?

Our respite care services at Visiting Angels Santa Fe are designed to meet a different need than our other home care services. With respite care, family caregivers remain in the lead role and continue providing care for their loved ones for the long run. We pair families with professional care providers from our team who can take over for short-term periods of time to relieve the family caregiver of their duties temporarily. Thanks to this form of care, family caregivers can avoid feeling burned out by their responsibilities and maintain their capacity to provide the high-quality care their loved one deserves. 

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Santa Fe

Our care providers strive to support both family caregivers and seniors through the aging in place process. While helping family caregivers feel less overwhelmed, our services also improve seniors' quality of life, expand their social circle, and provide them with professional care personalized to their needs.

Our full range of services includes the following:

• Help with transportation for errands, events, or appointments
• Reminders about medications or other important tasks
• Assistance with housekeeping and meal preparation
• Support with socialization and participation in treasured pastimes
• A helping hand with bathing, dressing, and other personal care routines
