The True Value of Respite Care: Home Care in Lancaster, CA

Comfort Keepers home care services in Lancaster, CA and the benefits of respite care

If you are the primary caretaker for your loved one, then you may find yourself in a position where you are happy to provide the care, but you want a break as well. This happens. Over time, you will find that the caregiving experience is rewarding, and you benefit from it, but at the same time, you need time for yourself as well. It is okay to ask for help and it is okay to feel like you need to just get away. Comfort Keepers Home Care is here to help you with that and provide you with the services you need so that you can catch a break.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is a type of care service that relieves you as the caregiver and it provides the same level of care to your loved one that they receive now and require. You need time in your day to handle your own responsibilities and you cannot let them fall wayside just because you need to be a caretaker at the same time.

Respite care frees you up so that you can handle these things. Some of the things many people do with their time include:

  • Relax
  • Run errands and pay bills
  • Sleep or catch up on rest that they have missed
  • Handle personal responsibilities
  • Take time to catch up with friends and family
  • Head out to appointments (dentist, doctor, etc.)
  • Enjoy hobbies and pastimes

You do not need to feel guilty because to be your best for your loved one, you need to feel your best and for that to happen, you need time to yourself as well. One of the things that you may find interesting too is that many seniors feel guilty themselves because their children care for them. Comfort Keepers Home Care respite team is the perfect choice for you and your loved one, as each of you can feel good knowing the other is taken care of and receiving the much-needed break they need.

Considering Respite Care

As you start to think about respite care more and more, take a moment to think about how much time you will want or need and what services your loved one requires. You should communicate these needs with the Comfort Keepers Home Care team to ensure a proper plan is established.

In addition, think about your budget and know how much the services will cost you and who will pay for them.

Comfort Keepers Home Care is here to help you and your loved one. Call our office at (661) 723-8180 at your earliest convenience to learn more about our respite care services.
