In-home respite care
As heroic and gratifying as being a family caregiver may seem, it’s also an extremely demanding job. Anxious and exhausted, those who provide care for a loved one—often in addition to a holding a full-time job and being a parent—can quickly find themselves completely drained. However, the tradition of family caregivers is deeply entrenched in Quebec and throughout Canada. It’s estimated that more than 8.1 million people (especially Baby Boomers) are taking care of a family member in need.
Because your role as a family caregiver is essential, for the sake of your own health, it’s important for you to take a break every now and then. Even though you love those who are dear to you and want to be strong for them, taking a break to recover your strength will allow you to be a better caregiver. Our respite care service will do exactly that: offer assistance with the home care of seniors and other adults in need. As a result, family caregivers can get some rest, attend to business and take care of their own needs, including the following:
- Running errands
- Going shopping
- Attending support group meetings
- Seeing a doctor or dentist
- Taking some time for themselves, as they see fit
How can we assist you with the home care (or return home) of a loved one?
Our respite care service will allow you to leave for a few hours with total peace of mind. You’ll know that your loved one is in good hands—in the company of a professional who’s fully capable of attending to his or her needs.
You can book as much time as you need. Whether you only need to leave for a little while or you need a more extended break, we’re totally flexible. Our service is easy to schedule so you can book anything from a few hours a week to full-time care, for example, if you need to go out of town.
Know that we’re here for you. Taking care of someone is a beautiful thing. You’re doing a superb job and you’re most likely doing it wholeheartedly. We’re the partners who will make sure that your physical and emotional health remains intact so you’ll have even more energy and love to devote to your family member.
