Caring for your loved one is a rewarding experience, but that doesn’t make every day easy. With the wide range of responsibilities that arise in care, there may be some days you can’t give your loved one 100%. Other times, you may find yourself struggling with the responsibilities of care due to caregiver burnout.
Regardless of your reasoning, there will be days you need a break, and that is perfectly normal. When the time comes, consider respite care. This comes from the support of a Managed Care Organization (MCO), not our agency.
Respite care is a service designed to provide short-term care and supervision to relieve direct care workers for a short period of time. These professionals provide individuals the same support they would receive from their usual direct care worker, ensuring that they remain comfortable and confident in their home.
