What does respite care look like?

Respite care from CareCo is available to assist seniors who are temporarily in need of care due to illness, disability, or age-related concerns so that family caregivers may take a break or attend to other things. Through our professional home care options, we aim to give family caregivers in Las Cruces and nearby New Mexico areas a much-needed break. By doing so, we can help seniors and families stay healthy and happy while also lessening the likelihood of caregiver burnout.

Benefits of respite care

Our respite care services help family or primary caregivers rest

Family caregivers in the Las Cruces and neighboring areas may take a break from their caregiving responsibilities with CareCo's respite care services. We provide a chance for families to unwind, refuel, and focus on themselves, which could lead to better health and less burnout.

We can reduce stress for family caregivers

Sometimes it's too much to handle the mental, emotional, and physical responsibilities of caring for an elderly loved one. When families need a temporary break from their caregiving responsibilities, they may turn to CareCo's respite care services. As a result, they are able to unwind and escape the constant state of anxiety that comes with caring for someone.

Our respite care services can strengthen relationships between seniors and families

Breaks are essential for family caregivers to avoid fatigue and resentment, which may damage relationships. However, it's not always easy to find opportunities to take a break when caring for someone who needs help with everyday tasks. Fortunately, families may relax and enjoy their loved ones' company without worrying about their well-being when they use CareCo's respite care services.

We offer flexible care plans and scheduling options

Respite care is available whenever you need it with CareCo's flexible scheduling options. You may need respite care once a week to give your primary caregiver a break, or once every ten days while they're on vacation; it all depends on your scenario. Regardless, you can count on CareCo to provide the in-home care you need when you need it most.

The CareCo way

We at CareCo know how difficult it is to care for an aging loved one. Burnout may occur when family caregivers prioritize the needs of their loved ones above their own. You may experience frustration, exhaustion, or sadness as a consequence. An important aspect of CareCo’s respite care program is offering assistance to family caregivers, improving the quality of life for care recipients, and supporting the well-being of families dealing with the challenges of providing care for seniors in Las Cruces, Alamogordo, and surrounding communities.

We provide respite care for seniors throughout the following communities:

Practical Care

Below are some examples of the assistance provided in our respite care services

Personal Care

Your loved one can get help from our in-home caregivers with bathing, dressing, going to the bathroom, incontinence, and other personal care needs.

Homemaker Services

We provide a variety of homemaker services to meet the needs of seniors in Las Cruces and surrounding areas. This includes assistance with meal planning and preparation, light housework, transportation, medicine reminders, errand running, and more.

Medication Reminders

Just in case your elderly loved one forgets to take their medication, we can set up reminders for them. Additionally, we will closely watch your loved one in case they start to feel any negative side effects that might have an effect on their health, behavior, or general well-being.

Transportation

As a part of our respite care program, we are able to provide transportation services to seniors in Las Cruces and neighboring cities. We can accompany your loved one to and from doctor's visits, assist with errands, ensure safe arrival at social events, or even just let them cruise about town in comfort.

Emotional Support

Our respite care services at CareCo go beyond just helping our clients with their daily needs. Because we know how difficult it may be to care for an aging loved one at home, we provide companionship and emotional support to our clients in Las Cruces and the surrounding areas, as well as to their families and main caregivers.

Temporary Care

Our respite care services are available for short periods of time. Families in Las Cruces and the surrounding areas often request our assistance for one week at a time when they are unable to care for an elderly loved one at their home. You and your loved one may choose the time and day of the caregiver's visit based on our flexible scheduling options.
