Respite Care in Toronto
•
How long can you take advantage of respite care?
– It depends on your needs and unique circumstances. Some people may
want to set up respite care for no more than a couple of hours, while others
may take advantage of this option to take longer breaks, up to several
weeks. Whatever your needs are, you can find an option to suit those need.
•
Who can benefit from respite care?
– Your loved one needs around the clock care if they are disabled or seriously
ill. If you are the primary caregiver and usually take care of everything, you
may want to consider taking a short break to recoup. Sometimes, you need
some time off because of work or appointments. In this situation, you just
cannot leave your loved one alone, especially if they are suffering from a
stroke, a brain injury, cancer, blindness, or dementia. Instead of asking a
friend for a favor, who, by the way, is not trained or aware of your loved
one's unique need, you should look towards a live-in caregiver. A trained
caregiver can help you manage everything in a much better and more
professional way.
