At Assisting Hands Home Care<\/a>, we help family caregivers who care for their elderly loved ones with our respite care services in Palos Heights, IL, and the surrounding areas of Cook County (See All Served Areas)<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong> Our caregivers can provide care for your loved ones at scheduled times to allow the family caregiver to have a break.<\/p>\n

As more senior citizens decide to age in place, many will inevitably need care to live at home safely.\u00a0 In some cases, a family member will step in as the primary caregiver and provide care full-time for their loved ones.\u00a0 This arrangement is beneficial in a couple of ways.\u00a0 Both the family caregiver and the one receiving care are familiar and comfortable with each other and the family caregiver will have a deep understanding of their loved one\u2019s care needs.<\/p>\n

Because being an informal caregiver for a loved one is a full-time job, it can be exhausting and stressful.\u00a0 The long hours put into caregiving can lead to a lack of sleep and the stress level can cause family caregivers to experience poor health and issues such as depression.\u00a0 Family caregivers also have limited time to spend with their own immediate family and cannot devote much time to their career.\u00a0 Working with a respite caregiver will give family caregivers time off to take care of themselves and their personal affairs.<\/p>\n
