Creative Ways to Pay For Senior Home Care
If your aging loved one needs home care, you may wonder if your family can afford it. Luckily, there are various payment options, but financial situations vary.
Providing Comforting Support During Hospice Care
When a loved one is approaching the ending stages of life and enters hospice, it's crucial to focus on cherishing your final moments together without any distractions.
Protect Your Elderly Loved One From Phone Scams
Protecting seniors from phone scams is critical. Scammers increasingly exploit their generosity and limited internet knowledge.

Caring for an aging loved one with complex needs can feel like a full-time job—or a 24/7 commitment. In fact, you might be one of 40+ million Americans providing unpaid elder care. What happens when you need to run important errands, go to a business meeting at the office, take a vacation, or need a breather? Where can you turn?

You’ll gain peace of mind knowing your loved one is in capable and experienced hands—even for a brief time.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is short-term or temporary home care that offers a much-needed break from your primary caregiver duties. With the support of an experienced care provider, you'll have time to focus on work, attend to personal tasks, and connect with other loved ones.

Respite care can also help recharge your batteries and reduce the risk of "caregiver burnout," which can occur when the stress and emotional strain of care responsibilities becomes overwhelming.

Short-term senior care can provide an immediate positive impact. If you need to rest and recuperate, Visiting Angels can provide in-home services while you focus on your well-being. If your daily or weekly caregiving routine has become too demanding, our dedicated caregivers can conduct regular respite care visits to lighten your load.
