While families appreciate keeping their loved one in the comfort of his or her own home, it can lead to an emotional, physical and financial burden if you don’t have the proper support structures in place.
That can make it too easy to neglect your own health, feeling the anxiety and stress build as you juggle your personal and professional life and your loved one’s evolving needs.
You may feel like you can never take a break.
That’s why it’s important for you to know about professional respite care.
Respite care is short-term, temporary relief that helps your loved one stay at home comfortably and safely.
Respite care can offer a break, stress relief and also does the following:
1. Helps your loved one remain at home while comfortable, happy and safe

3. Protects your own mental and physical health
4. Offers you time to relax, run errands or schedule your appointments
5. Provides you peace of mind
6. Reduces the likelihood of abuse and neglect
