7 Signs It’s Time to Sign Up for Senior & Dementia Respite Care

Unsure of whether or not your senior family member is ready to try dementia or alzheimer’s respite care? Take a look at these seven signs to determine whether this is something your family should look into.

Post Hospital Stay

Your loved one has been in the hospital for a procedure or following an adverse event. If he or she is not strong enough to come home or you need additional time to prepare, a dementia respite trial stay will give you peace of mind. Your loved one will receive memory therapy, care, and community to help them recover fully and go home successfully.

Feeling Overwhelmed

If you’re habitually feeling anxious or in over your head, then take the high-stress work off your plate. Chronic anxiety can create mental health problems down the road, so senior dementia respite care for your loved one helps to alleviate those stressors.

Overwhelmed

Became Sick Or Injured

If you’re sick or injured, there is no way you can perform senior respite care services to the best of your abilities—nor should you have to. When you’re physically not able to be a caregiver, look into our innovative dementia respite care program for an elderly parent or loved one with dementia.

Encountering Relationship Issues

Unfortunately, the difficulty of  caregiving can also strain relationships with your mother, father, or family member living with dementia.  Our dementia respite services can give you the support needed to help return the relationship to a healthier, less stressful one. If you are not focused on caregiving, you can focus on spending quality time with your loved one.

Relationship Issues Between Dementia Patient and Family Members

Experiencing Depression

When you’re busy taking care of someone else, it’s hard to remember to take care of yourself too. Symptoms of depression can emerge over time if you neglect your own mental health while caregiving. Our dementia respite care program can give you room to breathe and organize your own life. 

Depression

Needing a Social Atmosphere

At home, an elderly family member with dementia can feel isolated from others. Our respite care program in Oakbrook Terrace, IL provides access to our dementia specific activities and therapies that also provide a social atmosphere. Residents participate in activities from gardening, bird watching, art and more with friends and neighbors. Socialization helps many to minimize depression and sadness.

Social Atmosphere

Making Mistakes

As a dementia caregiver, you must juggle medication administration, diet management, and more. As the work gets more intensive, you may be more susceptible to making mistakes. Our staff is specially trained so we can handle any level of attention needed.
