What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is a care service that some healthcare agencies offer that can help families temporarily. Like other forms of care, it involves helping elderly and disabled people. At Always Best Care of Richmond, we employ bonded, insured, and skills-tested caregivers. Our caregivers work with our clients in their own homes in the Greater Richmond Area, providing care services. They provide physical, emotional, and pragmatic help.
Our staff consists of professional caregivers. However, many Virginians provide similar services for free. Why? Because they care for their parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbors, and friends. They’re not employed to be caregivers, they do it out of love. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to provide this care. That’s why we offer respite care.
When Do You Need Respite Care?
Respite care gives family caregivers a break. Caregiving is often hard work and caregivers need a break now and then. Whether you’re relaxing on the Virginia Beach oceanfront or touring the bazaars of Morocco, we can provide your loved one with the care they need. But you don’t need to leave Richmond to justify taking a break. Even if you just want a staycation, we can provide respite care while you relax at home.
Family caregivers also get busy with other duties. You might have to go on a work trip or attend a professional conference. You might have an exam for which you must prepare. Or you might have your own health situation. You can’t properly care for your elderly parent if your spouse, child, or you yourself have an acute health problem. In any of these situations, we at Always Best Care of Richmond can step in and help.
