The holidays should be a time of joy, but trying to prepare for celebrations while taking care of an elderly relative can make you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world. Here’s how respite care can help.
Minimizes Holiday Conflicts
With the holiday season comes the stress of shopping, making cards, cooking special meals, and planning for parties and family visits. Trying to juggle this in addition to taking care of your loved one can stretch you thin and put you on edge.
Your loved one may also feel neglected, if you’re unable to pay as much attention to him or her. Respite care takes some of the responsibility off you so that you can focus on the holidays without feeling frazzled.
Ensures Quality of Care
Trying to manage the care of an aging relative yourself in the midst of the holiday rush can lead to mistakes, especially if you start to get run down.
Hiring a professional caregiver to provide in-home respite care can help you achieve peace of mind knowing your loved one is getting the attention necessary to stay comfortable and well.
Frees Up Time in Your Schedule

With respite care to handle the daily needs of your loved one, you have time to reset and recharge so that the holiday season can be enjoyable instead of a blur of one stressful situation after another.
Don’t try to cram too much into the time you have. Instead, choose which holiday activities are the most important to you, and focus on enjoying those instead of trying to make the season “perfect.”
Provides Companionship for Loved Ones
An in-home caregiver provides a different kind of companionship that a nursing facility can’t, making it a welcome addition to the household for both you and your loved one during the season.
