What is Respite Care?
Respite care for elderly in San Antonio serves as a mental and physical oasis for caregivers who spend the bulk of their time in the service of someone they love. There are currently over 40 million unpaid caregivers in this country.
While friends or family members can provide respite care for elderly in San Antonio, highly trained and compassionate professionals offer respite care in residential communities. This approach to respite care gives caregivers peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are in capable hands.
Respite care is designed with both caregivers and care recipients in mind. When provided by residential communities, this type of care eases the pressure of caring for an ill or aging family member or friend, without any worry about the safety and well-being of a loved one. In many cases, respite care helps the caregiver provide a higher quality of care, as taking breaks helps improve the emotional, physical and mental health of the care provider.
Respite care can also benefit the recipients of care, providing them with social interaction, stimulation, and a welcome change of routine in a safe and nurturing environment.
