Respite Care in Springfield MA
"While I am mom's caregiver, Visiting Angels has allowed me to continue to be mom's daughter too." ~ Lesley
At Visiting Angels® West Springfield MA, we encounter many family caregivers who could use a helping hand to prevent the negative effects of caregiver burnout. After all, it’s not easy to single handedly provide well-rounded care for a parent or loved one. It’s important that family caregivers receive the time off that they need to look after their own self-care needs and get relief from the stress and exhaustion that caregiving often entails. Our respite care services are available throughout the Springfield area in Western Massachusetts. Our services give you the time to spend getting to know your parent again instead of being their full-time caregiver.

“Visiting Angels has allowed me to help mom stay in her home, close to me. We can still have dinner together and share our daily lives. They have helped me move mom from rehab to her home twice and done so at a moment's notice seamlessly. The people who help mom dress, prepare her breakfast and lunch and now help her through the night do so with warmth and gentle caring. They are an extension of me. I am so grateful for their attention to mom's needs and mine. They have been patient guides on this journey with my mom. While I am mom's caregiver, Visiting Angels has allowed me to continue to be mom's daughter too.” ~ Lesley
