WHAT IS RESPITE CARE?
Respite care is a planned break that allows caregivers of family members to temporarily step away from caregiving routines that still allows your loved one to be cared for at home, where they truly belong.
You may be new to caregiver duties and services and wondering exactly what this service is, how it can help you and your loved one, and which home care agency you should count on. Respite care from Home Helpers® Home Care will provide you with the break you need to recharge and focus on yourself for a little while. Our home care services can be scheduled so that you get relieved at a time that works best for you. We’ll provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one is in great hands.
Some ways respite care can be helpful include:
- We can help fill in with care when you need or want to leave the home. This could be coverage for one afternoon a week or more frequently if necessary.
- Traveling for a vacation, for work, for the holidays? We can be there.
- As your loved one’s care needs change, our team can be blended into your Care Plan to help with overnights, or we can transition to a live-in situation if desirable.
HOW FAMILIES BENEFIT FROM PROFESSIONAL RESPITE CARE
Respite care from Home Helpers® Home Care can benefit both the client and the family caregiver by:
- Giving caregivers a break, allowing them to take a vacation, run errands, or take a break from the demands of caregiving.
- Helping improve caregivers’ physical and mental health and reduce their risk of burnout.
- Providing the relief caregivers need while allowing them to keep their loved ones at home. This can help keep families together and avoid the stress and heartache of placing a loved one in long-term care.
- Allowing families to create a custom plan that meets their specific needs and allows them to take advantage of the most beneficial services.
- Alleviating the strain caregiving puts on relationships and preserves them by giving both parties some time apart.
DO YOU ONLY PROVIDE IN-HOME RESPITE CARE FOR SENIORS?
No. While respite care from Home Helpers® Home Care can definitely supplement the senior care a family caregiver is currently providing, is meant to provide relief and assistance to many kinds of caregivers providing support and care to their loved one. Our home care services can also help individuals recovering from surgery, those who need end-of-life care, people who have disabilities, and more.
WHO PAYS FOR RESPITE CARE?
Payment for respite care from Home Helpers® Home Care, similar to any other home care services we offer, will depend from family to family. For some it is out-of-pocket or privately funded. For others insurance policies, such as Medicare, can provide partial payment. You will need to speak with your insurance company and your local providers to find out what payment assistance is possible for your family.
