“Respite care has allowed us the opportunity to spend quality time with our other children, given us the opportunity to reconnect with my spouse, and find the time to get back in the gym to exercise and reduce stress.”
The experience of being a family caregiver can be hard to describe to those who have never experienced it. It’s often a 24/7 job, on top of all of the other responsibilities that people have in life, like caring for other children, working full-time, staying on top of household responsibilities, and trying to make time to rest. When a parent’s own rest and recovery comes last, it can be hard to remain strong and hopeful as a caregiver. This is where respite care comes in.
Family caregivers need to take care of themselves and their mental health so that they can continue to care for others. Broadscope is proud to support family caregivers through the Respite Care Coordination program. This program takes the stress off of families by coordinating funding of in-home respite care and helping with administrative work, so that families and respite workers can focus on providing care.
