Respite Care

One thing is true: caregiving is hard work that takes a toll on the caregiver. The Family Caregiver Alliance goes on to report family caregivers can suffer from extended illnesses, depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbances due to their role. For most family members, keeping a senior loved one out of a long term care facility is often the reason they push themselves into intense caregiving situations.

You deserve some rest, without guilt and without putting your loved one at risk.

In home care needs vary from senior to senior, and our caregivers work to find the best interventions and develop a personalized plan to suit your loved one’s specific needs, challenges, and personality. Some of the care we may provide for your loved one could include:

Rehabilitation

Proper rest and nutrition is important to restore strength and mobility after any surgery or hospital episode. After your senior parent or loved one recovers from Orthopedic Surgery - a total knee replacement, a hip, or a shoulder procedure - its vitally important that they carefully follow their doctor’s orders for rehabilitation and strength conditioning. The excursuses for strength and range of motion must be performed on the prescribed schedule to avoid continued weakness or even loss of function. This maximizes good surgical and patient outcomes.

Recovery is vital to the success of any surgery, even elective surgery. Did you know that 1 out of 5 elderly patients is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of leaving. Recovering from a hospital stay takes time, and the older the patient is, the longer it can take to get back to normal.
