What is Respite Care for Family Caregivers?

Respite care is crucial to the success of a family caregiver. This service provides short-term relief for primary caregivers by arranging just an afternoon or several days-worth of respite time. This means that Suburban Home Care caregivers come into the home and care for your loved one while you, the primary caregiver, take a break.

Family caregiving can be rewarding, but also hard work.

What if there was an option for you as the family caregiver, that could ease some of your stress while also giving you time to enjoy life?

Respite Care is temporary relief from taking care of someone who needs help with daily tasks. This service will allow caregivers to get the much-needed break to avoid caregiver burn-out, overwhelm and over-stressed situations.

Planning for Respite Care

Planning for respite care starts with knowing the needs of both you and your loved one.

Make a list of the services you need in your home for your loved one, the amount of time you need to be away, and the frequency of your respite needs. Once you have that information, Suburban Home Care can help with a regular plan to provide support.

Identifying your loved one’s needs and preferences will also help you and your home care provider with a great plan of care.

  • Are social activities most important to your loved one?
  • Do they require assistance with walking, eating, or medications?
  • Do they need mental stimulation?
  • Or exercise?

Answering these types of questions can help everyone make your “break time” as a caregiver more enjoyable.

We understand that when you devote so much love and energy to caregiving, it can be difficult to trust your family member’s care to others. At Suburban Home Care, we want to be part of the family, and a trusted source of support for you and your loved one.
