Dedicated Respite Care for Families When a Senior Loved One is in Hospice
When a senior loved one begins the journey of hospice care, an increased level of care and responsibility naturally come along with the family’s deepening concerns. What’s required of the family can be unrelenting and exhausting in ensuring their beloved elder’s last weeks and days are filled with comfort and dignity.
Amada’s expert, compassionate caregivers can provide a much-needed respite from the continuous care and extreme mental and emotional output that accompany the final passage. With emotions running high, family members often neglect their most basic needs including showering, eating and sleeping. The option to step away for a brea can provide family members with the opportunity to rest, refresh and regroup—knowing their parent, grandparent or spouse is in excellent hands—returning better able to be fully present with their loved one.
