Assisting Hands Home Care offers respite care services to senior citizens and their caregivers in Fort Worth, TX. Our caregivers will communicate with seniors and their family caregivers to form a schedule where our caregiver takes over so the primary caregiver can take time off.
Families are sometimes able to care for their aging loved one by designating someone as the primary caregiver. However, this caregiver can become quickly burnt out if they don’t take time to rest. This may result in a lack of sleep, health issues, and stress in the family caregiver if they provide long hours of care without a break.
Respite Care in Fort Worth, TX
At Assisting Hands Home Care, our caregivers can relieve family caregivers in Fort Worth, TX, and the surrounding areas with respite care services. Our trained and licensed caregivers will arrive punctually at the scheduled time to relieve the family caregiver. This way, the primary caregiver can tend to personal matters without having to worry about their senior loved one’s well-being.
Family caregivers tend to focus all their energy on their elderly loved one and, in the process, forget about their own physical and mental health. Nonstop care can make family caregivers vulnerable to health issues like stress and depression. Family caregivers often report that it is difficult to balance caregiving responsibilities, full-time jobs, errands, and caring for their children. A respite caregiver is required to let the family caregiver tend to their own personal tasks.
Short-Term and Long-Term Respite Care
It is important to provide family caregivers appropriate time off so they can rest, spend time with family, and care for their health. Being well-rested allows them to offer better care for their senior loved one and they can peacefully take time off knowing their loved one is being properly cared for. The following statistics stress the importance of a respite caregiver:
- Two-thirds of all caregivers are women
- One in four informal caregivers report lower health levels and are typically affected by depression, stress, and lack of sleep
- Over 65 million people in the U.S. act as informal caregivers for a senior loved one
