Respite Care in Santa Clarita
Respite Care Defined
Simply put, respite care means providing relief for caregivers by giving them some time off while keeping their loved ones safe. Respite is a service for families and individuals to provide respite from their caregiving responsibilities; respite care services provide a family caregiver the time to go to work, run errands, or just take well-deserved time off.
For example, if a family needs time away from their loved one that can’t be left alone, A Comfort Keeper Caregiver will help manage their conditions making sure they are cared for and safe. Respite hours may be sporadic, have a set schedule each week, and can range from a minimum of 4 hours to a full 24 hours if needed.
Comfort Keepers of Santa Clarita has experience caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s disease (or another dementia) as well as physical conditions such as heart disease, cancer, MS, etc. Each caregiver is trained to provide the very best care and is overseen by your personal care manager. If you need respite care on a set schedule a caregiver is assigned to you so you always have the same caregiver each time provided your caregiver is not ill or is on vacation.
What Are The Benefits?
According to Comfort Keepers, respite care provides many benefits for both the caregiver and their loved one:
– Caregivers gain much-needed time away from the home without fear that their loved one will get hurt or become lost.
– Loved ones stay in familiar surroundings where they receive excellent daily care from a trained respite caregiver who understands their condition(s) and knows what precautions to take.
– Loved ones receive all of the same essential services, such as medication reminders, activities based on individual interests, and nutritious meals.
– Caregivers have a chance to run errands, relax, go out with friends, or just get a much-needed break from caregiving by knowing that their loved ones are in safe hands.
