Respite Care

Tens of millions of Americans provide home care for their senior loved ones each and every year. Sadly, the stress of caregiving can lead to physical and mental health problems, unhappiness, and a lower quality of care.

Why Utilize Respite Care?

Senior home care providers offer respite care services to help family caregivers take short-term breaks from their caregiving duties. Researcher have proven that family caregivers who take advantage of regular respite breaks have fewer health problems, are happier, and provide better overall care to their loved ones.

Integrity In-Home Care offers respite care services in the comfort and convenience of the senior’s own home. This means that the senior does not have to be transferred to a nursing home or care facility in order to receive services or supports. From a few hours a day to several days, caregivers will come to the home and take over care and supervision according to comprehensive care plan uniquely designed to fit the senior’s specific needs.

Some seniors may be highly active and only require a few supports. Some of the assistance they may require includes help with light housekeeping or laundry, meal preparation, or local transportation. Other seniors may require more support for longer hours, including personal care support, such as eating assistance, toileting support, and help bathing, grooming, and dressing. Still, others may require full-time, round-the-clock care and supervision. Regardless of the time or intensity of the support, Integrity In-Home Care can meet your loved one’s needs.

In some cases, seniors may require more emotional support than physical. Caregivers are also great companions. While you are gone, a respite care provider can ensure your loved one gets out and about safely. They can go for walks, go shopping, see a movie, get pampered at the salon, or simply sit and talk or reminisce.

While the primary benefits of respite care are for the caregiver, the senior also gets plenty out of the change. Many seniors are emotionally troubled knowing that their loved ones give up so much of their time and effort to provide care. They watch, helplessly, as their loved one’s health deteriorates, their joy wanes, and their own responsibilities fall by the wayside. Yet, the seniors know they cannot get by without the care and the family member keeps on working through it. Far too often, this unhealthy cycle continues until somebody cracks.

With respite care, the senior gets the peace of mind that comes from knowing their family caregiver is taking much needed time for themselves and is looking after their own health and well-being. Most times, this reduces loads of stress and anxiety that have been building up long-term. Thus, when the family caregiver returns from break, both the senior and the caregiver have lower levels of stress and tension. Seniors also get locked into the same social isolation as the caregiver. Respite care brings in new faces. This is good for a senior’s social, emotional, and mental well-being.

In short, Integrity In-Home Care respite care services provide a means for family caregivers to take short-term breaks. And, because of this care, seniors and their caregivers have the opportunity to fully maximize their well-being.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
