Assisting Hands Home Care helps family caregivers with our respite care services in North Ridgeville, OH. Our respite care services allow family caregivers to take some time off as our licensed caregivers step in to provide quality, compassionate care.
Seniors who decide to age in place are likely to reach a point where they need some care and assistance to live safely at home. Some families accommodate their senior loved ones by having a family member step in and provide care. This arrangement can be beneficial because of the familial relationship between the caregiver and one receiving care and the familiarity the caregiver has with their needs. However, it is not easy being a family caregiver as long hours can lead to stress and burn out which can cause more serious issues like depression and health problems.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide respite care services to relieve family caregivers in North Ridgeville, OH. Our licensed caregivers will arrive at your loved one’s home at scheduled times to take over providing senior care while the family caregiver takes some time off. You can expect a seamless transition as our caregivers will provide quality, compassionate care.
Family caregivers devote so much of their time to providing care that they may not have enough time to handle their personal matters or take care of their own health. Burn out from caregiving can lead to stress and many family caregivers experience depression and health problems. With our respite care services, your family caregiver will get the time they need to manage their personal affairs and care for their health.
Importance of Respite Care
Those who act as informal caregivers for a loved one need to have some time away from elderly caregiving to tend to their own health and personal matters. It can be difficult for family caregivers to take time off as they may not have someone else who can help or may feel guilty about leaving their loved one. With our respite care services, your loved ones will be in the hands of our licensed caregivers who will provide quality care that accommodates their needs.
Family caregivers need outside help to ensure that their loved ones get the best possible care:
- 65 million people provide informal care for a relative
- Two-thirds of all family caregivers are women
- Family caregivers report poor or fair health and may experience stress and burnout from lack of sleep and depression
Professional Respite Care Services
When you work with Assisting Hands Home Care, we will create a respite care plan and schedule that ensures that your loved ones get the care they need and that the family caregiver gets enough time off. Taking time away will help ensure that the family caregiver is healthier and well rested which benefits both the caregiver and the loved one receiving care.
We will first meet with the family caregiver and the loved ones in their care to determine their care needs and evaluate the care provided by the family caregiver. We will make sure that the care we provide is as close to the care from the family caregiver as possible and form a respite care schedule that works for everyone.
Respite care benefits the family caregiver in the following ways:
- Reduced risk of burn out with more time to rest
- Less likely to experience stress, depression, and other health problems
- More time to spend with immediate families and managing personal affairs
