Senior Respite Care Near Chicago
Here for the whole family.
If you are caring for a senior loved one, are you experiencing a lack of energy, lessened interest in things you used to love, increased isolation, changes in diet and exercise, a decrease in sleep, and/or any other negative effects?
If this sounds like you, you may be experiencing caregiver stress and burnout, which is a real issue affecting primary caregivers – many of whom happen to be family caregivers.
While it can be difficult to find time for a break in your day-to-day routine to care for you, you may find yourself needing to take a step back from that full-time role to do so. Not only does focusing on your own personal care allow you to be the best caregiver possible, but it also refreshes you so you can provide the care and support your loved one requires and deserves.
How can you get the support you need while ensuring there’s expert care available for your loved one? This is where respite care at our Arlington Heights community comes in.
