If you’re one of the more than 40 million Americans who cares for a loved one in their old age, you may benefit from our professional respite care services. As a family caregiver in the Cayce area, you can arrange for in-home care to be delivered by a member of our caregiving team at Visiting Angels^® Sumter. All of our care providers are thoroughly screened and carefully selected to suit the needs of individual families. When you know you have a care professional to turn to in difficult times, you can ensure you’re able to take care of your own well-being in addition to the well-being of your loved one.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care can make a positive difference in the lives of both family caregivers and the elderly parents, grandparents, or spouses they support. Our services for the Cayce area are designed to act as a valuable lifeline for individuals who may otherwise feel overwhelmed or exhausted by their long list of responsibilities.

With our flexible approach to in-home care, family caregivers may book visits from a care professional whenever they need to take time off or want to reduce their workload. At the same time, they never have to worry about compromising the quality of care their loved one will receive while they’re away.

Many of our clients in the Cayce area choose to book short-term care or temporary visits to meet their need for respite. However, we also offer ongoing care for those whose daily or weekly routine has become especially burdensome. Our regular respite visits enable these unpaid caregivers to rest, recuperate, and bond with their loved ones on their own terms.

How Respite Care in Cayce Helps

Our care providers offer a broad spectrum of caregiving services and specialized forms of senior care. Your loved one can benefit from personal care, companion care, or memory care depending on their current care requirements and daily challenges.

• Tidying up the home
• Cooking meals
• Offering medication reminders
• Assisting with bathing and grooming
• Providing mobility support
• Engaging in friendly conversation
