If you're the primary caregiver for an elderly or ill loved one, you may have found yourself thinking that meeting their needs as well as your own is an impossible dream. Respite care in Wichita can make that dream a reality. At Visiting Angels^® Wichita, we help families strike the perfect balance by providing flexible care and compassionate support for their loved ones at home, whenever they need it.

All too often, family caregivers sacrifice their own needs so that their loved one's can be met. However, some needs can't go neglected, like sleep, nutrition, and social engagement. Without them, family caregivers run the risk of negative effects on both their mental and physical health, which is why respite care is so important.

Respite Care Options for Wichita Families

Every family is unique, which is why we strive to provide a range of respite care services that can meet many possible needs, from uplifting companionship to hands-on assistance to monitoring and more. You can choose which care services you'd like for your loved one and customize both their frequency and timing.

Some of the types of respire care you can choose from include:

• Temporary Care. Sometimes life throws a curve ball that may separate you from your loved one unexpectedly. When that happens, you'll feel better knowing that you have access to compassionate, experienced care to keep your bases covered.
• Part-Time Care. Striking a healthy balance between your caregiving duties and other areas of your life is made possible by having a few hours of relief each week provided by a capable and compassionate professional caregiver.
• Support Care. Having the help of a skilled, professional caregiver can make caring for a relative with more intensive needs, like Alzheimer's or dementia, less draining and provide numerous benefits for your loved one.
