Respite Care
Respite Care In Winnipeg
Respite care is temporary care provided by someone other than the primary caregiver. Provided by family, friends, or professional caregivers, it can range from at-need services for a few hours here and there to full days and nights multiple times per week.
Right At Home Winnipeg's respite care services are custom tailored to the individual needs of each and every one of the clients and families we serve. We take great pride in providing flexible, high-quality care in lieu of primary caregivers so that they can tend to their own health and wellness with the assurance that their aging loved one is receiving exceptional care.
In addition to providing supervision and companionship, our trained respite caregivers can offer support with bathing, grooming and dressing, meal preparation, housekeeping, mobility and transfers, and much more.
Relief for Overwhelmed Families
When a loved one needs care, it’s natural for you to want to take on the responsibility. But, caring for your parent, sibling, spouse or other loved one is no small feat. Trying to manage their care while juggling the other responsibilities in your life can wear on you both physically and mentally. You know this, and so do we.
At Right at Home, we believe family caregivers deserve time to rest and revive their spirits. Right at Home’s caregivers offer that relief, allowing you to grab coffee with a friend, catch a movie with your children, or even take a much-needed nap. While away, you can rest assured that your loved one is being cared for with dignity and respect.
Why Respite Care Is Necessary
Respite care provides an opportunity for primary caregivers to rest, spend time with family, and tend to their own needs while trusting that their loved one is in good hands.
Family caregivers commonly use respite time to engage in the following activities:
- Relaxing, resting, and spending time alone
- Going to appointments
- Shopping and running errands
- Spending time with family and friends
