If you have been caring for an elderly adult with Alzheimer’s disease you already know how challenging it is to cope with the constantly changing needs of a senior with this disease while also balancing all of the other needs of your life.
Caregiving can be overwhelming
You might find that there are times when you are overwhelmed and do not have enough time in your day to handle everything that you have to do. You may have several things scheduled for the same day and not enough time to handle everything that you need to for your parent. You might feel stressed and burned out and simply need a break. When this happens, respite care can be invaluable.
How can it help?
With respite care, a care provider steps in to provide care on a temporary basis. This can be for a few hours so that you can handle another need such as an event with your children or even for a few days so that you can take a much-needed break from your care efforts. This ensures that your parent continues to get the care and support that they need, on their schedule as much as possible, while you get the time away that you need.
In late-stage Alzheimer’s respite can really help…
Respite care during the final stage of Alzheimer’s disease can be particularly valuable. During this stage, the amount of time that you will need to devote to your parent’s care will increase dramatically and you will also face increased emotional difficulty. Respite care enables you to take the time to work through these challenges and manage all of the arrangements and tasks that you need to with less stress.
Home care services is an alternate choice
If you have been considering ways to enhance your aging parent’s quality of life, support better health and well-being, and help them to manage their individual challenges and needs in the way that is right for them, starting senior care for them might be the ideal solution.
