Home Respite Services: Support You Can Count On
At ameriCARE Pittsburgh, we recognize the difficulties that can come with being a part- or full-time family caregiver of a loved one. It requires a lot of dedication and planning, and at times, it may feel impossible to trust the responsibility to someone else. But you need to take care of yourself, too, and that’s where our team of expert caregivers can step in to provide home respite services. You can hire an in-home respite caregiver to take over care shifts as needed to help free up your schedule while ensuring your loved one is receiving the best care possible at all times.
our respite CARE in Pittsburgh offers services that include:
help with managing complex needs
Whether managing a temporary health condition or caring for someone through chronic illness or hospice, we have plans in place to help bring our in-home caregivers up to date quickly so you can take the time you need to rest and recover. During our discovery process, we will review your loved one’s needs, what you’re doing now to manage the situation, and explore ways we can help improve care and find ways to get you the much-needed breaks you deserve.
one-time support when you need it
We understand that needs can shift quickly, and sometimes, clients need one-time or short-term support, which is why we do not require you to book a minimum number of hours for any given shift! However, based on our experience, shifts under four hours can be more difficult to fill. Given this, and in order to secure the best help possible, we offer a premium short-shift rate to encourage fulfillment.
providing much-needed RELIEF
It is important as a caregiver to take breaks when needed to rest and recharge. As part of our respite care services, ameriCARE employs highly qualified and compassionate caregivers who can provide flexible respite relief for those essential self-care breaks.
Our caregivers can step in and provide the care your loved one needs, allowing you to take time for yourself to rest, go to work, or spend time with your family and friends. Our respite care services provide caregivers time to restore, reset, and relax while putting themselves first.
It’s always better to prepare ahead of time to ensure you give yourself adequate breaks while providing care for a loved one. Work with our home respite care team to create a schedule that works for you.
Meal Preparation
Our caregivers will step in to prepare meals, shop for groceries, monitor dietary restrictions, and provide assistance in promoting the health of your loved one while you take a break.
Recreation
Our caregivers can provide much needed emotional and social support for your loved one so you can feel confident to step away and take care of your own needs.
Transportation
If you don’t have the time to help the person in your care make certain appointments or run errands, that’s okay! Our caregivers can provide transportation while you manage other tasks.
Medical Appointment Support
Our caregivers can accompany your loved one to their appointment and help them and you understand any information or instructions their doctor may give them.
Light Housekeeping
Chores can feel especially overwhelming if you are caring for a loved one on top of your other responsibilities. Our caregivers can provide regular assistance with laundry, dishes, and clean-up, so you don’t have to worry about these tasks getting done.
Reading Aid
Our caregivers can help your family member read a book, open or read mail, organize paperwork, or mail bills and letters to keep their administrative tasks on track while you attend to your own.
Exercise
Our trained caregivers can jump in and help your loved one with their exercise or physical therapy regimen to help keep them on track while you take care of yourself.
Pet Care
Our team offers numerous pet services, including dog walking, feeding, transportation and assistance with vet appointments, pet hygiene, and other services to keep you, your loved one, and their pet happy and healthy.
