Respite Care
Respite care provides temporary relief for a primary caregiver, enabling you to take a much-needed break from the demands of caregiving a sick, aging, or disabled family member. Respite care can benefit the person you’re caring for too, providing them with variety, stimulation, and a welcome change of routine.
SUPPORT FOR CAREGIVERS
Respite Care at QLS
Respite care can take place in your own home, a personal care/assisted living facility or skilled nursing & rehabilitation facility. Whether it’s for just a few hours a week or an extended vacation, seeking respite care can help ease the burden of family caregiving and help to relieve stress, restore your energy, and promote balance in your life. It can also prevent you from becoming exhausted, isolated, or burned out.
If, like most caregivers, you accepted the role as family caregiver without any formal training, it’s unreasonable to expect that you’ll be an expert and know everything about your new role. Seeking respite care from others, especially those who have previous experience or professional training, can bring a fresh pair of eyes to your daily routine and may offer tips on different ways to handle certain caregiving tasks.
We understand that no one else can offer the same level of love and care as you. Even if you know that you’re the best possible person to care for your loved one, that’s no reason not to seek respite care. If nothing else, your loved one will appreciate you even more when you return from your break. Contact us today
to arrange respite care for your loved one.
