Senior caregiving can be one of the most fulfilling jobs around, but to stay fresh caregivers require time away from these duties. Respite care is one way to give family caregivers a break. Take advantage of short-term stay options at the Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living in Somerset, NJ. Older adults receive qualified, personalized support in short-term assisted living accommodations. Our community of seniors and caregivers is warm and welcoming. Family caregivers and others can relax knowing that our senior community offers nurturing, comfort, and many enjoyable amenities.
Here, we discuss respite care to help family caregivers take care of themselves, too.
What Is Respite Care?
A respite is a rest or intermission. When caregivers take a respite, it means they are going to give up caretaking duties for a specific period. Time away from care duties helps caregivers, certainly, but it can also help the older adults who are receiving the care by providing a change in scenery and routine. Both parties can gain new perspectives from spending a short time away from each other.
Respite care at Wilf Campus for Senior Living describes a short-term stay in our assisted living community. Our goal is to help seniors live as independently as possible by providing support with daily tasks. With a compassionate staff available 24/7, our senior community provides an atmosphere where every resident can thrive and enjoy life.
What Are the Benefits of Respite Care?
In many ways, the benefits of respite care are the same as any vacation time. Getting released from your normal schedule and duties can provide a complete rest and an opportunity for relaxation. If it involves travel, a respite can bring new landscapes or visits with family and friends. New activities, a deep dive into beloved pastimes, or quiet time to oneself are all possible with respite care.
For caregivers, respite care can provide deep relaxation and freedom from worries related to their responsibilities. Especially for those who care for seniors around the clock, or juggle multiple fast-paced obligations, respite care provides a space for body and mind to recover. Respite care allows caregivers to return to their duties with a refreshed attitude and a well-rested body.
Seniors also enjoy a chance to get out of the house. At Wilf Campus for Senior Living, they can walk in our beautiful gardens, engage in activities with the community, make new friends, and be assured of assistance and care when they need it.
Is Memory Care Available?
Yes! Memory care is available at the Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living. It is safe, secure, and staffed with a dedicated team of well-qualified and specially trained staff members.
