Benefits of Respite Care

Caring for a loved one who is unable to care for themselves can be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining on the caregiver. While you want to make sure your loved one is getting everything they need, as a caregiver you also have to be mindful of your own health. Respite care allows caregivers to take a break and recharge, while leaving their loved one in the hands of a capable professional. At Community Helping Hands, our caregivers are highly trained, loving, and respectful professionals who truly enjoy helping others. We love what we do and would be happy to discuss how we can best serve both your elderly loved ones and yourself.

There are certain signs you can watch out for that suggest it may be a good idea for you to consider respite care, such as often feeling overwhelmed. More than the occasional stressful situation that pops up, consistent anxiety over simply having too much you need to do over a prolonged period is a sign that it's time to make a change. This constant stress can lead to very real health problems, and if you become ill you will certainly be in no condition to be caring for the senior in your life. Another warning signal is the quality of the relationship between you and your loved one declining. This is a tough situation to be in for both parties and may create negative feelings on either side even though neither wants that to be the case. Finally, if you notice yourself starting to feel depressed, yearning for more social interaction, or fantasizing about just having a break, start looking into respite care by reaching out to the helpful staff at Community Helping Hands.

If you or someone you love are in need of respite care, call us today. There is a 2-hour minimum on our respite care services.
