What is Respite Care with Comfort Keepers in Lakewood, CO?
Respite care is the transfer of primary caregiving responsibilities to another person, typically a professional caregiver, relative, or friend, so primary caregivers can get temporary relief.
Respite care can take many forms – some family caregivers choose to have someone take on caregiver duties for a few hours a week or a few hours a day. Respite care can also be used for longer periods of time to accommodate an extended break or vacation.
At Comfort Keepers, we offer customized services and flexible scheduling that give family caregivers a well-deserved break. Care can be scheduled as-needed or as part of a weekly routine. Our specially trained Comfort Keepers® help seniors live comfortably and safely in their own homes while engaging them in intellectual, physical, and emotional interactions that make their days better.
What You Need to Know When Caring for a Senior Loved One
