You do not have to take your loved one out of your home for respite care
because in-home respite caregivers are also available. They will come to your
home and stay with your loved one while you are away taking care of something
else. You will have a total peace of mind, knowing that you have a trained
individual at home to ensure that your loved one stay safe and comfortable in
your absence.
You can also consider taking advantage of residential respite care if you want
respite care for more than 24 hours. Residential respite care often serves as
apartment complexes for elderly individuals who have a disability. By choosing
this option, you can go away for up to a few weeks without having to worry about
the health and needs of your disabled loved one. You will have a total peace of
mind knowing that your loved one is in a comfortable, safe room, apartment or
suite with trained staff available around the clock. The staff can help your loved
one with taking medications, eating meals, and performing exercises.
Depending on the facility you select, your loved one may also enjoy facilities
such as gyms, hair stylists, supervised outings, and religious services. They will
also be responsible for taking the patient to shopping as well as medical
appointments.
