It is difficult for family members to take care of an elderly or ill family member. It is difficult emotionally and physically, but it can be rewarding. Respite care is designed to give caregivers the occasional respite from their caregiver responsibilities. This care can last for a few hours each week or for the entire length of a vacation. Our Minneapolis respite care service will help you keep your life in balance and your energy in check.
The fact is that caregivers have lives as well that require travel, the need for a break, or taking care of their own health. Many families throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities use respite care to help them decide if home health care is the right thing or to ease into the role of caregiver.
Helping You Reduce Stress
Respite care is considered short-term care. At CareFocus Health, we send a home health aide or personal care attendant to your loved one’s side to ensure they are well taken care of. This includes:
- Helping with basic tasks like bathing and meal preparation
- Medication administration
- Meal preparation
- Household duties like laundry
- Transportation to appointments
- 24-hour supervision and security, if needed
- Housekeeping
The services don’t end here. Our staff is committed to keeping everything in check while you are away. When you come back, everything is in order so that you can effectively resume the care of your loved ones.
A Positive Effect On Your Loved One
Respite care is positive for all involved. Not only does the caregiver receive a break, but the patient is able to make a new personal connection, which helps them socially. They are able to engage in familiar ways, but in different ways as well. At the same time, their comfort is maintained.
Know that if you are a caregiver needing a break, there is an option for you that doesn’t put your loved one at risk. Through CareFocus’s Health St. Paul and Minneapolis respite care service, you can have that break guilt-free.
Pay sources for respite care include: Medical assistance under a waiver and private payer.
