Respite care is a support system that provides short-term relief for primary caregivers, who are usually immediate family members. We can arrange for short-term morning or afternoon schedules.

Respite Care
Sometimes a family member who needs time away from caregiving will call us to arrange several days or weeks of respite care. Family caregivers often push themselves and realize they, too, need to take care of themselves, allowing them to relax or find the time to accomplish tasks they have put off.
Taking a mental and physical break from full-time caregiving is a lifeline for family caregivers and loved ones. Respite visits help with continual care, and the family can feel confident with the quality of care the senior loved ones receive. Schedules and the usual daily rhythm put in place by a family caregiver are temporarily followed and managed by a professional caregiver.
Respite care can be part of the support system for family caregivers. Professional At Home Heathcare of Binghamton (Elmira NY, Corning NY, and Horseheads NY too) perform the majority of caregiving duties and at the same time “bring a new friend” in to provide care.
Overall, respite care can make a positive difference. When a family member devotes themselves to caring for a spouse, a parent, or a grandparent, respite care can make all the difference.
