What is Respite Care?

It is estimated that nearly 44 million Americans care for elderly parents and/or relatives. This responsibility can be fulfilling and rewarding as well as demanding and stressful. Often these caregivers have jobs and families of their own. This non-stop care-taking can affect their physical health as well as be both mentally and emotionally draining. To be an effective and patient caregiver one must take care of oneself. No matter how much we love the people we are caring for and may want to care for them, it is still necessary to have breaks.

Wiser Home Care Services can provide care for your loved one in their home or at an assisted living facility.

Nearly 44 million americans care for an elderly loved one. To be effective, one must also care for themselves. Respite care helps.

Respite Care: What is it and Why Do You Need it?

Whether it is by choice or due to tight finances, many people choose to forgo putting an elderly or sick loved one in a care facility and opt to take on the responsibility of caregiver.

In the United States alone it is estimated that nearly 44 million people care for their elderly parents and/or relatives.

While caring for a loved one can be fulfilling and rewarding, it is also often stressful and demanding. Many of these family member caregivers balance jobs, families of their own, their personal lives and caring for the sick or elderly relative.

Between all the responsibilities it is easy to see how one may feel like there is not enough hours in the day. In fact, there usually isn’t enough hours in the day to juggle all of the aforementioned responsibilities. Nonstop care taking is very emotionally and physically draining and can lead to some health issues for the caretaker themselves.

Wiser Home Care Services understands how draining caring for a loved one can be. We strongly believe that in order to be an effective and patient caregiver one must take care of oneself. No matter how much we love the people we are caring for and may want to care for them, it is still necessary to have breaks.

To help alleviate the stress, Wiser Home Care Services offers in-home respite care so the family can take care of other responsibilities and obligation or just have some down time to recharge.
