Do you see yourself in these caregiver statistics?  If so, perhaps you should consider respite care. Respite care provides a needed reprieve for a caregiver taking care of a loved one. This benefits the recipient, who continues to receive care in a safe environment. It also can rejuvenate the caregiver’s mental and physical wellbeing.

The Alzheimer’s Association says, “Caregiving is demanding — and it’s normal to need a break. Seeking help does not make you a failure. Remember that respite services benefit the person with dementia as well as the caregiver.”

Respite stays can provide the caregiver the time to run simple errands such as getting a haircut or shopping, a chance to connect with friends, and the peace of mind that your loved one is getting quality care in a supportive environment.

There are a variety of options for respite care, including assisted living facilities, personal care homes, and individual caregivers.

Most licensed assisted living facilities offer respite stays. Assisted living in Treemont Health Care Center provides assistance with personal care needs, including bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming, in a socially engaging environment. Rates are all inclusive of incontinence supplies and also medical equipment such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and adjustable beds. All you have to do is pack a suitcase of clothing, provide your loved one’s medication and instructions and the certified care attendants will take over.

At Treemont, respite care patients receive all the same amenities of someone in full-time assisted living. This includes cable TV, free Wi-Fi, three nutritious meals, snacks, medication management, 24-Hour supervision, housekeeping, and activities. The senior might also find the environment a bit more stimulating, with musical performances, bingo, arts and crafts, movies, parties, and the opportunity to socialize during meal times.

Treemont Health Care Center recommends Traditional Medicare as it generally offers the best financial option if one is in need of nursing home care in Houston. Often specific insurance companies will only pay for nursing care at their own hospitals. If you want to stay at Treemont, the safest, most comprehensive, option is Traditional Medicare. That being said, Treemont works with as many insurance companies as possible, to seek temporary coverage for its residents.
