Trusted Respite Care in Lonsdale, BC
There are many daily challenges for family caregivers. The role of caretaking for a loved one is not only time consuming, it can also be extremely stressful. Although the primary caretaker in a residence wants to be there for their loved one at all times, sometimes it’s just not a realistic option. It’s important for family caregivers to spend some time away to decompress and revitalize their own health and wellness. Mentally speaking, it’s beneficial for the family caregiver to have a break. Often the ailing family member will respond positively to a fresh face that is willing to provide them with the dedicated professional care they deserve.
Respite Care Makes Life Easier for Lonsdale Families
“Respite care” is defined as the professional service provided by a health care agency that allows the principal caretaker momentary relief from caring for a sick or ailing individual. When the primary caregiver has other obligations away from the home, it’s important to have a competent professional scheduled and ready to step-in and assist your loved one in any way they are needed. It’s not only critical to the wellness of the ailing family member, but also comforting for the primary caregiver to be assured their loved one is in good hands.
