What Is Respite Care?
A respite is a period of rest or relief. With respite care, the respite isn’t for the person being cared for, but rather for the caregiver. Professional caregivers employed by Always Best Care of Albuquerque, are bonded, insured, and skills tested. However, many caregivers in New Mexico do not have these qualifications, not because they’re illegal caregivers working under the table, but because caregiving isn’t their job at all. Many people don’t get paid for the care they provide because they’re doing it for their family members or loved ones.
If you care for a loved one who is elderly or who has a disability, then you know it’s hard work. Caregiving is tough enough, but trying to do so while also meeting all the obligations of your work life or school life, your social life, your romantic life, and attending to your own mental health and emotional wellbeing is very difficult and, sometimes, impossible. That’s why there’s respite care.
When Is Respite Care Needed?
Respite care is needed whenever you decide you need it. If you care for a loved one regularly and never take a break, you’re likely to get burnt out. Always Best Care of Albuquerque offers respite care to look after one or more clients for a temporary period of time. When organizing respite care, you can give us all the information you want about the care your loved one needs and the best way to provide that care. With respite care, you can relax with the knowledge that your family member will be properly taken care of while you take care of yourself.
Respite care is popular with people going on vacation. After all, just because you’re caring for a loved one doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a holiday. Quite the opposite. Respite care is also useful when you experience intense periods in your career or your education. Respite care can last a week, a month, six months, or however long you need. Respite care is also available in emergency situations. If you or your spouse has a sudden health issue, you can arrange respite care for a loved one.
