Specialized Care for Seniors in Devon: Respite Care Program

Recovering from a surgery or a serious disease is hard, especially for seniors living alone. Our respite care program can help you with temporary specialized care in Devon. Being alone is the worst and believe it or not, it can affect your recovery time. When you stay with us while recovering, you get to meet people of the same age and communicate with them. This helps you stay calm and happy, allowing you to recover faster. Our compassionate and well-trained staff will always be there to take care of all your needs until you recover. You can get in touch with us to set up a tour of our facility. We are conveniently located just 10 minutes away from Calmar.

​What is Respite Care?

Respite care is basically a short-term break for family caregivers. It takes a 24-hour commitment to care for someone who is sick or incapacitated which can affect your mental and physical well-being. It would be best if you took a break now and again to tend to your personal needs. This is where respite care can come in handy.

​In your own house.

Overnight stays available in residential centres.

​Benefits of Respite Care

Nowadays, both male and female members of a family have jobs. Due to this, it gets hard for them to take care of sick or elderly members of the family. One of the best options for such situations is searching for the right respite care provider. Respite care brings a range of benefits to the table both for the family caregivers and the person recovering from diseases. Respite care offers the following advantages:

Helps the person recovering avoid bad habits as they won’t get to smoke or drink.

​Promotes relaxation for both the family caregiver and the person under respite care.

Provides assistance and support to the sick person, whenever they need it.

Boosts health and helps in quicker recovery.

Increases social engagements.
