If your loved one increasingly requires supervision, it is time to consider home health care options. Respite care provides the professional assistance your family member needs on a weekly or daily basis while giving you time to focus on your life. Home care service is offered on a variety of levels so you can design a personalized plan for your loved one.

Top 3 Respite Care Types

1. In-Home Care

In-home care service occurs at the family member’s residence. It is provided by family members or professional, in-home caregivers and includes help with daily tasks such as cooking, light housekeeping, and bathing. Medical care is usually not included.

2. Personal Care

Personal care services focus on helping with daily activities such as getting out of bed, bathing, dressing, using the toilet, eating, and walking. Certified nursing assistants often provide this type of home health service to those who need it.

3. Respite Care

A fantastic option that gives caregivers the chance to take a few deep breaths is respite care — a short-term program providing professional service. This type of assistance is offered in a variety of increments, such as a few days or a few weeks. It gives family members the chance to focus on their lives so they can return to caring for their loved one refreshed and revitalized. Respite care may take place at a nursing home, adult day care center, or the home.
