Respite care is short-term, temporary care that gives a family caregiver a break. One of our trained caregivers comes to your loved one\u2019s home and takes over the daily routine for a few hours, overnight or for several days. Your parent or spouse stays somewhere familiar, and you get time to work, rest, travel or take care of your own health. Assisting Hands Home Care provides in-home respite care across Naperville and nearby communities in DuPage, Will and Cook counties.<\/p>\n

Our caregivers go through background checks and receive training before working with clients. They are also bonded and insured. We take the time to match caregivers with clients based on their care needs, preferences and personalities. Whenever possible, we schedule the same caregiver for each visit so your loved one can get to know them and feel comfortable with someone familiar.<\/p>\n

When Family Caregivers Need Time for Themselves<\/h2>\n

For generations, family members have taken care of their own when a relative reaches their senior years or becomes sick or disabled. While providing care for elderly family members is an admirable thing to do, it is extremely demanding and could have detrimental effects on the personal lives of the family caregivers.<\/p>\n

It is common for family caregivers to ignore important personal matters and suffer from high stress levels and lack of sleep which can lead to negative health effects. Family caregivers typically prioritize the care that they provide for their relatives over their own lives, and many feel guilty taking time off to handle their personal matters.<\/p>\n

However, family caregivers need to be able to take a break and tend to their own personal lives. Assisting Hands Home Care provides in-home respite care for families throughout Naperville, IL.<\/strong> Whether your loved one lives near Downtown Naperville, Cress Creek, East Highlands, Hobson West, Maplebrook, White Eagle, Ashbury, Tall Grass, Ashwood Park, or River Run, our caregivers can provide temporary support at home.<\/p>\n

\"Respite-Care-near-Naperville-IL\"<\/p>\n

Our caregivers step in and follow your loved one\u2019s usual routine, so things feel familiar while you\u2019re away. They can help with walking, transfers, repositioning, bathing, dressing, meals, grocery shopping, light housekeeping and laundry. They can also provide medication reminders, pick up prescriptions and drive your loved one to doctor\u2019s appointments.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not all about daily tasks. Sometimes, having someone around to talk to, play a game of cards with or enjoy a short walk together makes all the difference. The care depends on what your loved one needs and the routine your family prefers. See our full list of elderly care services<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hourly, Overnight and Extended Respite Care Options Available for Naperville Family Caregivers<\/h2>\n

Sometimes you need a few hours to yourself. Other times, you may need a full night of sleep or a few days away. Whatever the situation, respite care can give you time away from caregiving without leaving your loved one on their own.<\/p>\n

Some families arrange a caregiver for a few hours once or twice a week to go to work, run errands or catch up with friends. Others need overnight help<\/a> because their loved one gets up frequently during the night and needs assistance. If you’re planning a vacation or need to be away for several days, we can also arrange extended care, including 24-hour support.<\/p>\n

You don’t have to follow a fixed schedule. We can discuss how often you need help, how long each visit should last and what kind of care your loved one needs. You can schedule visits ahead of time or reach out when something unexpected comes up and you need an extra hand.<\/p>\n
