Caring for a loved one is an act of love—but even the most devoted caregivers need time to rest, recharge, or simply catch their breath. At Assisting Hands, we offer respite care services that provide temporary relief for family caregivers, while ensuring your loved one continues to receive the support, comfort, and attention they deserve.
Whether you’re stepping away for a few hours or a few days, our compassionate caregivers are here to fill in with warmth and professionalism—so you can take time for yourself without worry or guilt.
You’re not alone on this journey. We’re here to help you care for your loved one and for yourself.
Why Family Caregivers Need a Break
Being a caregiver is a full-time job—and sometimes even more than that. Many family caregivers put their loved ones’ needs ahead of their own, which can lead to:
- Chronic stress and burnout
- Sleep deprivation and fatigue
- Neglected personal and family time
- Declining physical and emotional health
According to national data:
- Over 65 million Americans provide informal care to family members.
- Two-thirds of them are women.
- 1 in 4 caregivers experience depression, anxiety, or other stress-related health issues.
Without regular breaks, even the most dedicated caregiver may become overwhelmed. Respite care provides the support needed to avoid caregiver burnout and maintain long-term well-being.
