Respite Care
NONMEDICAL HOMEHEALTH AGENCY
Caretakers can take a well-deserved break knowing their loved ones are in good hands with trusted respite care.
WHAT WE KNOW
Dementia, a degenerative brain condition typically occurring in advanced stages of life, affects around 1 in 6 individuals aged over 80. Respite Care, a widely recognized subtype of dementia, presents a distressing journey marked by memory decline, confusion, impaired judgment, and fluctuations in personality or mood.
In the realm of respite care, our trained Caregivers excel in reducing potential loneliness and isolation by understanding your loved one’s unique circumstances. With expertise in Dementia and Alzheimer’s, they are adept at addressing these specialized care needs. Creating a supportive environment, our Caregivers offer a safe haven for your loved one to navigate through difficult times with dignity. This may entail providing medication reminders, engaging in cognitive exercises such as puzzles, or simply offering a compassionate presence to listen to your loved one’s thoughts and memories.
WHAT YOU’RE EXPERIENCING
The impact of respite care on the elderly and their families is significant and presents numerous challenges. While symptoms may differ, memory loss is often recognized as one of the initial signs of this cognitive decline. Social withdrawal can also accompany these distressing life changes. Moreover, as time progresses, individuals may experience difficulty in performing basic physical tasks, such as maintaining personal hygiene.
