Caring for your parent, sibling, spouse or loved one is no small feat. You know this, and so do we. You’ve sacrificed to serve in your role as caregiver for the one you love, and that’s why you deserve time to rest and revive your spirits. Senior Solutions referred caregivers offer that relief, allowing you to grab coffee with a friend, catch a movie with your spouse, or even take a much-needed nap or vacation. All the while, you can rest assured that your loved one is being cared for in the best of hands, allowing your mind, body and soul that small, essential vacation—even if it’s only a few hours each week.

Benefits of Respite Care

Caring for a loved one 24/7 can begin to wear on your physical and mental health. You may find yourself:

  • Not eating right.
  • Not sleeping well.
  • Not feeling well.

Sometimes, resentment can build, prompting the caregiver to take out frustrations on the patient. But this doesn’t have to be the case.

Senior Solutions caters to the caregiver’s mental and physical well-being. And when the caregiver (you) is healthy, the patient remains healthy, too. Respite care will:

  • Offer relief, downtime and escape.
  • Prevent the buildup of resentment.
  • Improve the health and happiness of you and your loved one.
  • Allow you to feel revived and refocused when you return.

How Respite Care Works

Depending on your needs, as well as those of your loved one, our Client Care Coordinator will refer a respite caregiver to your home for a few hours. These visits could be once a week, or three times per week, based on your schedule and your particular wants and needs. While the respite caregiver tends to your loved one, you’re free to get away. You can use these hours to meet friends for lunch, attend a hair appointment, or even read a book in the backyard. The point is, this is your time to rest and recover.
