Being the primary caregiver for your loved one can be a rewarding experience, but it is easy to get burnt out. Taking care of your loved one full time can take a toll on your overall health if you are not being careful. A caregiver who spends most of his or her time taking care of a loved one may never have the opportunity for a leisurely day trip, let alone a vacation. Respite care allows caregivers to take time off, which research shows can be good for physical health, sin...ce it can reduce stress. Having time off will do more for you and your loved ones than if you took off no time. Being able to rest and take time off will go a long way for your physical, emotional and mental health. Everyone uses their respite care differently, whatever you feel you need to do is totally up tp you!

You may think that it is safer and easier to hire a caregiver by yourself, but in reality there are more risks involved this way. Here are 4 things you might want to keep in mind before hiring a caregiver on your own: 1. With a private caregiver, you need to do proper screening and background checks. We have a very rigorous system for screening and interviewing caregivers, so we hire only the highest quality caregivers. 2. When your private caregiver calls in sick or must h...ead out of town to take care of a sick family member, you’re stuck finding a replacement or taking care of your loved one yourself. When you use a company, there are always back-up caregivers available. 3. Our caregivers are our employees, which means we pay all of their taxes and Worker’s Compensation. Quite a few caregivers are injured on the job, and the Worker’s Compensation Bureau can come to your loved one looking for compensation if your caregiver files a claim. 4. Our caregivers work under a care plan developed by an expert in the field, and they have a team of supervisors who keep a close eye on the level of care being provided. It takes a lot more coordination than people think. Learn More: https://www.homecareassistancewaterloo.ca/frequently-asked/ #homecare #caregiving #eldercare
