What is Respite Care for Seniors?
When the caregivers in your life need time away, whether for a vacation or other obligations, you still need that same level of assistance to recover from illness, surgery or just to get through your day. Respite care transfers a primary caregiver’s responsibilities to another person, (most often a professional caregiver such as a nurse or aide) granting the everyday caregiver temporary relief from those duties. For a multiple of reasons, seniors often need specialized care. Oftentimes after surgery, an injury, or illness, seniors may need care that falls outside of the expertise of their family or regular caregivers. Our team is happy to help in these situations. Regardless of the reason for the short-term stay, you can rest assured that you or your loved one will be in caring, capable hands at Riverwood.
