Respite Resources

  1. What is respite?
    Respite care is temporary relief to those who are caring for family members, so the care recipient does not need permanent placement in a facility outside the home. While caregiving can be very rewarding, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support, like as respite.
  2. Why is respite important?
    Caregiving can be harmful to your health. Family caregivers are said to suffer a chronic condition at more than twice the rate as non-caregivers. Elderly spousal caregivers with their own history of illness, and who are experiencing care-related stress, have a 63 percent higher mortality rate than non-caregiving peers. Stress from providing care can take as much as ten years off a family caregiver's life. Family caregivers who provide more than 36 hours of care weekly are more likely than non-caregivers to experience symptoms of depression or anxiety.
  3. Who provides respite care?
    Respite is often provided by other family members, neighbors as well as day care centers, assisted living facilities, nursing homes and senior care agencies such as Visiting Angels.
  4. What does the caregiver do while providing respite?
    The care can range from companionship to complete care services such as personal hygiene assistance, ambulatory assistance or meal preparation. When Visiting Angels is providing respite care, the family or the care recipient selects which services that it wants completed. Visiting Angels will provide complete care services.
