The Benefits of Respite Care

Article Category: Aging

Author Name: Grace Rivers

Caregivers need to attend to their personal affairs and well-being while providing care to patients with dementia. Failure to recognize this need can lead to burnout.

Burnout is an overwhelming state of exhaustion brought about by prolonged stress from the demands of work. Burnout occurs when there is a feeling of emotional, mental, and physical powerlessness. The family and carers lose interest in performing activities to help the patient. Consequently, this could greatly reduce the quality of care given to dementia patients and can be detrimental. A respite care service is a solution offered to help care providers with this pressing need for some time off.

There is a dementia care facility that provides respite care services for a period of time or around the clock, depending on the need. The Internet and social media offer a plethora of information and reviews about respite care.

One type of service offered is from an established home health care company within your vicinity. They send a trained home health care aide to the family�s residence to care for the dementia patient. The companion takes over the care temporarily, assisting the dementia patient in activities of daily living.

A residential care home also provides transient respite care services for the patient with dementia. Residents are assured of 24/7 medical care.

It doesn�t matter whether it�s for a day, a week, or a month; respite care serves as a breather. It gives ample time for the family and caregivers to address their own personal needs like:

- Visiting the doctor for a checkup
- Taking a rest, cleaning the room
- Doing the dishes and laundry
- Getting a haircut from the barber or salon
- Attending religious services
- Meeting a friend or visiting relatives
- Emergencies
- Taking a vacation
- Spending more time with the family
On the other hand, respite care is beneficial to patients because it gives them the chance to:

- M new people
- Interact with other patients in the facility
- Learn new skills through participation in activities that the center has to offer

Issues about Respite Care

Self-Condemnation

Caregivers and families often think that prioritizing their needs over the care of a loved one who has dementia is a selfish act. They deem it as a form of abandonment if they leave other people to do it for them. They have to be assured that looking after their own needs does not make them bad people. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

Reliability of the Facility

Families and carers want to ensure that their loved one is being cared for properly. Trust must be established at all times between the family and their chosen respite care facility.

There are some experiences wherein the family has to put a video camera hidden somewhere to monitor the activities of the one providing the care, only to find out later about ongoing physical and emotional abuse. The only way to resolve this is through research. Do a background check of the facility and get feedback from their previous clients as well.

Money

While respite care provides a reprieve, families are worried that they won�t be able to pay for the services. There are causes and organizations that offer grants or financial aid. Another option is the fund-raising website called GoFundMe. Simply find the time to create a free account and browse their FAQ page.
