You can opt for respite care when your loved one cannot walk without
assistance. You may want to use outside help when your loved one is suffering
from a serious condition, such as diabetes, stroke, or cancer. It is possible to
use the help for less than a day or you can also opt for programs that would take
care of your loved one for several weeks.
You can opt for respite care at home if you think your loved one feel safe and
comfortable in the home settings. It is possible to find in-home respite
caregivers who will come to your home and serve as companions for your
elderly loved one. The primary job of these caregivers is to be around your loved
one and ensure that they do not hurt themselves while you are away. You may
consider working with home health aides if you need someone to help your
loved one with activities, like dressing, bathing, taking medications, and eating. It
is also possible to find respite care providers who can make the beds, run a load
of laundry, and prepare meals too.
