Helping a loved one live safely at home while they are struggling with age-related challenges can be incredibly rewarding. However, it can also be exhausting to the point of burnout. Many family caregivers could benefit from respite care but don't realize it's an option. At Visiting Angels^® Versailles, we are looking to help family caregivers experience the benefits of a much-needed break so they can support their loved ones over the long run.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care services are often delivered as a form of temporary senior home care. Our care providers at Visiting Angels Versailles can visit your loved one's home whenever they need support but you have other priorities or responsibilities to tend to. With time to yourself, you can engage in self-care, run errands, and finally have a chance to rest and relax. This can help you avoid caregiver burnout and ensure you have the energy to offer the care your loved one needs and deserves.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Versailles

Respite care is designed to promote family caregivers' quality of life while also helping their loved ones maintain their well-being at home. The care professionals on our team at Visiting Angels Versailles can tend to needs related to Alzheimer's disease, mobility limitations, senior isolation, and other issues seniors encounter while aging in place.

For example, some of our most frequently requested services include the following:

• Help with personal care, such as bathing and grooming
• Reminders about taking medication on time
• Coordination of transport for outings
• Meal preparation and grocery shopping
• Basic chores and light housekeeping
• Joyful conversation and warm companionship

We build flexible care plans that are personalized to accommodate the needs of each senior and their family caregiver. You will also be able to schedule care visits as needed, making it easier for you to take time off.
