Respite Care in Oshawa to Support Family Caregivers

When you’re focused on your loved ones care needs from day to day, you may not realize how much you’ve neglected your own. Burnout is a serious issues among the millions of Canadians who act as family caregivers. It can leave you exhausted and unable to care for your loved one — not to mention yourself. 

Through respite care, we give family caregivers the opportunity to step back from their duties and tend to their most pressing needs. If you need to take an afternoon, a weekend, or a week for yourself, we can arrange for a capable caregiver to step in on your behalf. Our friendly caregivers can provide whatever care your loved one needs, from daily tasks like bathing and meal preparation to engaging companionship and outings.

Depending on your situation and the level of support you need, we can arrange for ongoing respite care to more consistent relief. If you only need a occasional support to cover for an appointment or other commitment, we can also arrange respite care on an ad hoc basis. Just know that our care team is here to help whenever you need us.
