Respite care services
Respite care is short-term relief for your family caregiver. It provides a break from the demands of ongoing special care for rest and rejuvenation. Respite care relief is tailored to fit your schedule and needs, promoting life balance and compassionate care. Caring for a loved one is very rewarding but also very demanding. Kells Home Healthcare team of caring professionals offers that much needed relief for vacations and breaks from the day to day care. You can hire our staff for any duration whether it be for a few hours or 24-hour assistance.
Is your loved one resistant to the idea of outside help? Not a problem. Professional caregivers are experienced in earning the trust of individuals and can slowly ease your loved one into the idea of outside assistance. Your Home Health Aide (HHA) or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) can start out with small tasks around the house, such as light housekeeping or laundry. As your loved one becomes more comfortable, the caregiver will slowly transition from an HHA or CNA into the role of a companion, giving you the break, you deserve.
Respite care relief can help with:
- Stress relief
- Weekend and overnight care
- Meal preparation
- Bathing assistance
- Emotional support
- Light housekeeping
- Recreational activities
- Increased quality of life
Respite care is a wonderful resource for family caregivers, but sometimes a family member needs more assistance than you can provide. We have both medical and companion caregivers, who can provide live-in or visiting services. We’re always here to help you find the ideal solution for your family.
Being a successful caregiver means understanding the importance of asking for help. Know that you are never alone in your journey, and your health is important for both you and your family. We’re available 24/7 to lend a hand whenever you need it
Compassionate Respite Caregivers for You and Your Loved One
Caring for a family member with an illness or disability can be a deeply rewarding experience, however, it’s unlikely that you can, or should, handle all of the caretaking responsibilities on your own. Being a family caretaker does not mean sacrificing your own health and wellness. It’s impossible for you to provide your loved one with proper care if you’re not healthy yourself. Pay attention to any changes in your own health, keep up with preventative health measures, and never hesitate to ask for help.
We understand just how much love and devotion family caregivers put into what they do — and we’re honored to help provide the best possible care for you and your family.
