The dedicated team at United Home Healthcare Indianapolis provides around the clock respite care to help both families and individuals live comfortably and happily.
Taking care of others can be a great gift to someone and also to ourselves, but on the other hand, it can be very exhausting, taking up a lot of time and energy. One of the possible solutions that might help ease your mind in your endeavors is to think about engaging in Respite Care services with United Home Healthcare Indianapolis.
What is respite care?
Respite care can be either planned or unplanned (in a case of an emergency) care provided to caregivers of a child or adult. Respite care can be considered a sort of “short break” for primary care givers. This service will most definitely ease up the everyday lives of caregivers and provide many benefits to end users (mostly children and senior citizens).
The latest research conducted with caregivers pointed out, that population of caregivers (people between 19 and 64 years of age) suffer from one or more chronic conditions (60% of interviewed), and those are the working people, whose mental and physical health should be a priority. Therefore, respite care can be a win-win situation for both “sides”: caregivers and those in need.
Respite care is double-natured: it can be provided in a medical institution or right at home which is what United Home Health Care Indianapolis specializes in.
