At Visiting Angels^® Southeast Portland, we offer respite care for families in West Linn. This service is aimed at supporting family care providers with reliable and flexible service from our senior care professionals. We can provide assistance as frequently as you need, helping you create a safe and stable environment for your loved one while affording yourself the chance to take a rest. 

We begin all of our services with an initial care consultation to discuss your specific needs and form a care plan. During these visits, we often receive questions about the affordability, customization, and overall quality of our service. Many families are also concerned about inviting a stranger into their loved one's home, and wonder about the screening process we use to hire caregivers. 

First, we want to reassure you that all of our caregivers are honest and trustworthy people. We use background and reference checks to make sure each person is perfectly suited for the role. We look for traits like kindness, empathy, and patience, along with excellent senior care qualifications. 

Our respite care is always customized to meet the needs of each senior. This allows us to provide wonderful care that matches the dedicated support provided by a family member. This also helps us reduce costs and offer affordable rates, since you only pay for the help you actually need. We are proud to offer effective and reliable care to take over for family care providers and support a healthy ongoing home life.

Understanding the Benefits of Respite Care

It's not uncommon for family caregivers to burn the candle at both ends and work themselves to the brink of burnout. After all, caring for a loved one can be a full-time job. Depending on the personal situation of your loved one in West Linn, you may be helping them with everything from getting dressed to going to the doctor's office. You may even be their only current source of social and emotional support. This is a lot for a single person to take on alone, and the burden of this responsibility can at some point wear on you both mentally and physically.

Taking time away from your normal caregiving routine to focus on yourself and meet your own needs can refill your tank and ensure you have the chance to feel rested and rejuvenated. As a result of your time off, you can look forward to being a more present and empathetic family caregiver for your loved one when they need you most. Simply reaching out to our local West Linn area care agency for support can enable you to schedule the respite care you need to take a break without worry.

Our services can be delivered according to your preferences, and they have the flexibility to accommodate the diverse requests of families living across the West Linn area. For example, we are ready to step in and take over your caregiving duties while you go on a much-needed vacation. Because we offer professional care delivered by loving caregivers, you can truly unwind and disconnect while enjoying your time off. Most importantly, you can trust that we will work to integrate care into your loved one's current day-to-day life. We will seamlessly blend the physical, social, and emotional support they need to make them as comfortable as possible during your absence.

If it's not a vacation that you're hoping for, but rather a few hours here and there to take care of other responsibilities or simply have some time to yourself, our home care providers in West Linn can also be of assistance. We are prepared to offer respite care services for anything from a few hours to a few weeks. Furthermore, getting started with these services can give you a better idea of how beneficial professional care can be for your loved one. This form of care offers a convenient transition to ongoing assistance in the form of full-time or part-time in-home support.
