Respite care helps reduce burnout, stress, and fatigue, enabling caregivers to continue providing care over the long term. Whether needing a break for a few hours, days, or even longer, this service provides caregivers with time to attend to their own health, run errands, work, or simply take time for themselves to relax and rejuvenate. Whether planned in advance or required on short notice, respite care can be arranged to accommodate different situations, including caregiver illness or emergency. Family caregivers can take a break with the peace of mind that their loved one is receiving the same level of attention, support, and safety they would normally provide.
While the family caregiver is away, our advanced caregivers provide compassionate care, ensuring that the individual’s needs are met. Our respite caregivers follow the existing care plan tailored to the loved one’s medical, physical, and emotional needs, ensuring continuity of care. Depending on the individual’s needs, our respite caregivers may have specialized training in dementia and mobility care.
With Breakthrough Healthcare’s respite care, loved ones also benefit from interacting with different caregivers, which can provide new social experiences and activities. If you’re in need of respite care, contact us today.
