Taking care of your aging loved ones at home is an act of love and kindness you promised them for years. It can enhance your bond and increase their quality of life. But it’s also a bigger physical and emotional demand than you might have anticipated.
Full-time caregivers are under a tremendous strain even though they are following their hearts in providing personal care at home to the people they love. Respite care is a service that replaces your care to your loved one so you can take a break. Respite care can really be a means of caring for the caregiver.
The Need for Respite Care
Taking care of a loved one in your home requires a lot of strength and patience. You are doing a great service for that individual as long as you don’t get run down yourself. Your loved one needs you to be your best, most patient and most cheerful self. This requires taking time away from your duties to relax and rejuvenate your spirit.
The emotional toll of watching a loved one slowly decline can be a big burden that drains some of your energy. Getting out of the house and focusing on a fun activity, a visit with a friend or a fun time with your children helps relieve your stress and process your emotions so you can continue to be the loving and supportive caregiver your loved one needs.
If you are the primary caregiver to someone who requires daily assistance with living tasks like personal care, meal preparation and housekeeping, it’s important that someone takes care of you. Active Senior Care can refer a caregiver to provide respite services that will give you a break from your caregiving duties and the knowledge that your loved one is safe and comfortable.
Active Senior Care Respite Services
The qualified professionals referred by Active Senior Care can provide the services you perform for your loved one for a few hours or a few days while you take a break. They can handle everything from meal preparation and laundry to transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping. We can even help arrange for skilled nursing services and overnight care to give you the respite you need while your loved one is properly cared for.
A caregiver referred by Active Senior Care can also come in temporarily and relieve you of just some of your duties while you catch your breath. Let us handle the grocery shopping and meal preparation during a transition to a new diet or a change in nutritional needs. We can also take care of bathing and personal care while your sore back heals.
Amazing service. The office is always attentive to our needs and they treat us like family, we are very happy!

My mother in law is now 82 years old, she is very fragile and needs assistance with some activities of daily living like bathing, dressing and grooming. We have had many different caregivers with a lot of turnover, until we found active home care.
