Respite Care
It is important to have a break when one is caring long hours for a loved one whose health requires a great deal of attention. It is okay to take a break. A break is necessary for your physical and emotional well-being, and for that of your loved one.
Home Staff offers trained respite care workers, who take over the personal care responsibilities so that the family or other primary caregivers can leave the house for a time period.
Respite care can provide a caregiver with:
- Comfort and peace of mind that their loved one person is being care for by another caring individual, trained to address the specific needs of his or her diagnosis.
- Care assessment, by a Home Staff nurse, in the home.
- Collaborative planning and nurse involvement with care providers, to develop a plan of care that includes all physical and social needs.
- A chance to spend time with other family or friends, or just to relax without caregiver responsibilities
- Time for errands, exercise or personal appointments
- Two (2) hours, one time or around the clock.
