Respite Care or “Short-term” care is here to help primary caregivers when they are in need of a break.
Currently, 1 in 5 Americans are now unpaid caregivers for family members. We help out when things pop up or you just need a breather. We are able to assist with out-of-town family members, standing in as advocates for your loved one. We are also able to manage care due to moving and relocations as well.
Are you the primary caretaker for a spouse, parent or loved one? We know first hand how challenging this can be and applaud you for your hard work. Many of us at Winchester In Home Care have done this in the past or are currently caring for a family member.
We empathize and know it can be overwhelming to understand how your current responsibilities maybe taking a front seat, while your own life takes a back seat. This is where Winchester In Home Care can become a great resource.
Respite Care services
Our Respite Care service provides short term or emergency care for the primary caretaker. Please allow our vetted and caring experts to step in so you can do the necessary things for yourself. We will be there for you in situations when you need it most, such as:
Being able to return to work
Most family caretakers are unpaid but still have to make a living and are often caring for families of their own. We can step in during those working hours.
Taking a much needed vacation
Sometimes you just need to unwind and get away from the daily routine. Or maybe you just need a little time for yourself. We totally GET IT! When Winchester In Home Care steps in to cover, you can relax with the peace of mind knowing your loved one is well taken care of .
Assistance with new transitional care
On occasion, a change in function or capacity of a loved one quickly changes their living situation. They may be coming to live in your home, transitioning from an assisted living, rehabilitation facility or their long time home. Whatever the situation, we are here to help and support you with that transition.
Self care
Whether it be getting to the gym, attending a support group, recovering from an illness or getting to a doctors appointment, there will be times when you need to take care of yourself. As you should! We will always be there when you need some time to do you.
Family time and Social Activity
This is critical in avoiding caregiver burn out. Spend time with friends and family, have some fun, laugh, play, socialize. Just like your loved one/s you are caring for, you need all these things as well. We are always happy to help out during these important times.
Primary caretaking is both rewarding and challenging. Winchester In Home Care helps you keep a healthy balance with our Respite Care Services. Call us now to see what we can do for you.
