Respite Care in Weston, FL

Senior citizens and adults with disabilities and chronic conditions often need care and assistance in their homes.  In some cases, there is a family member who can step in and be the caregiver their loved one needs.  Family caregivers are dedicated individuals who provide care out of love and often make personal sacrifices to be available to care for their loved ones.  However, their sacrifice can take a toll on their own health and well-being as well as their personal lives.

It is common for family caregivers to put the life of the loved one they care for ahead of their own and they may feel guilty taking time for themselves.  Yet, family caregivers need to find some time off to spend time with immediate family and get adequate rest.  Assisting Hands Home Care provides respite care services in Weston, FL to relieve family caregivers who provide full-time care for a loved one.  Our caregivers will arrive at scheduled times and take over the care for your loved one so the family caregiver can have time for themselves.

Our respite caregivers are ready to relieve family caregivers and take over the care seamlessly for your loved ones.  It is very important for full-time family caregivers to work regular time off into their schedule to tend to their personal affairs and avoid burnout.  The following statistics show the importance of family caregivers taking time off:

  • 65 million Americans act as full-time caregivers for a relative
  • Women make up two-thirds of all family caregivers
  • One in four family caregivers is in poor physical or mental health

Taking on the responsibility of a family caregiver is demanding and can lead to high levels of stress and lack of sleep.  This arrangement is beneficial for the one receiving care because family caregivers understand the needs of their loved ones and they already have a personal connection.  However, the situation becomes more stressful for the family caregiver if they also have a career or children of their own.  The high stress, lack of sleep, and demands of career and family can become unsustainable.
