Senior Respite Care Near Chicago in Lake Forest

Are you serving as a family caregiver for a senior loved one? If so, it’s important to take time for yourself to ensure you care for yourself with the same love and compassion you show your loved one. After all, as many family caregivers know, caring for a family member is a generous thing to do, but without sufficient self-care, caregiver burnout can develop.

What is caregiver burnout?

Caregiver burnout affects a large number of caregivers, from new to experienced. Common symptoms include:

• Physical and mental exhaustion
• Anxiety and depression
• Lack of energy
• Sleeping problems
• Loss of interest
• Frequent body aches and poor physical health
• Self-neglect

If you are noticing any of these signs, you may be experiencing caregiver burnout. While it may seem like there’s nothing you can do to prevent this or to help yourself get through it, there is: respite care.

What is respite care?

Respite care is a service designed to give caregivers a much-needed break from caregiving. There are short-term respite care options as well as long-term respite care options, depending on the needs of each caregiver and their loved one.
