What is Respite Care?

While caring for a loved one can be meaningful and rewarding, it is also emotionally and physically demanding. Family caregivers often feel overwhelmed, especially when trying to balance their personal, professional and caregiving duties. According to a survey by AARP, nearly nine in 10 family caregivers said caring for a loved one was harder than they anticipated.

It's important to take a break sometimes. That’s where respite care comes in. Respite care allows you time away from your caregiving responsibilities to rest and recharge. 

At ComForCare, we provide in-home care services. A professional caregiver comes to your loved one’s home, where they are most comfortable, and takes care of them as you would. Our caregivers are available for a few hours a day up to 24/7, including holidays. Remember, you cannot effectively take care of someone else if you do not take care of yourself first. Respite care provides family caregivers the opportunity to spend time with other friends or family members, run errands, get to the doctor or the gym, take a vacation, get a haircut, or simply relax.

Whether your loved one needs assistance only a few hours a week or around-the-clock, our team is happy to help! Call (720) 738-0044 to learn more about the transition care services offered through ComForCare Home Care (Boulder, CO).
