As a caregiver, you’re caring for another adult, usually a parent or spouse who is ill or disabled. This generous act of love makes a difference in the life of your loved one. But not without a cost to you.
The emotional strain of caregiving is known as caregiver stress. Studies show that your physical and emotional health is vulnerable to things like depression, diabetes and heart disease.
The most unselfish thing you can do as a caregiver is to make time for yourself. Exercise, eat healthy, visit your doctor. And take a break now and then.
"Respite care is essential to family caregivers. Studies show that respite care helps caregivers keep their loved ones at home for longer periods of time,” according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
Our respite guests enjoy fun activities that keep them laughing and smiling all day long. They feel safe knowing our professional staff is on-duty 24 hours a day. Our beautiful dining room is the perfect place for guests to make new friends and enjoy delicious meals. And, everyone feels pampered and special after a visit to our Beauty Shop.
