Our caregivers are ready to handle the care needs of your loved ones including personal care and help around the home.  They are each highly trained to provide effective home care and are licensed, bonded, and insured.  Our respite care services have the following benefits:

  • High quality care in relief of the family caregiver
  • Similar care to that provided by the family caregiver
  • Regularly scheduled time off for the family caregiver

The Importance of Respite Care

Working with a professional to provide respite care services will benefit the family caregiver as well as the care recipient.  The long hours that family caregivers spend providing care for their loved ones can lead to burnout which will affect their mental and physical health and their quality of care.  Many family caregivers also have little time to devote to their personal lives including their careers, children, and spouses.

The lack of sleep and high stress that is common among family caregivers can cause physical health issues as well as anxiety and depression.  Two-thirds of those who provide care for a relative report that they are in poor health themselves.  Allowing the family caregiver some time off will allow them to get the rest they need to maintain their own health and have the energy to provide better care for their loved ones.

Our respite care services have the following benefits for family caregivers:

  • Regularly scheduled time off
  • Better mental and physical health
  • More energy to provide effective care

Respite Care for Seniors Affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

It is natural for family members to assume care for their elderly loved ones, especially when they are affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia and they can no longer adequately care for themselves. This is typically beneficial for the one receiving care because they are already comfortable and familiar with their relative and the family caregiver has a good understanding of their specific needs.

Assisting-Hands-Respite-Care-Lombard-Du-Page-County-ILHowever, family caregivers may end up devoting much of their time to their caregiving duties which can prevent them from having a career or spending time with their immediate families.  The demanding nature of the job can also lead to stress and lack of sleep which can have detrimental effects on their physical and mental health.

If you or someone in your family has assumed caregiving duties for a relative who has memory loss or needs Alzheimer’s or dementia care, call our professionals at Assisting Hands Home Care to learn how we can help.  Our caregivers will provide quality respite care for your loved ones and allow your family caregiver to take some time off knowing that your loved ones are in the hands of our licensed professionals.
