Although the holidays are usually a time to get together with family, it could also be a prime opportunity to get away and relax, especially if you are the primary caregiver for a senior loved one. If you are considering going away for the holidays and are worried about who will watch over Mom or Dad, consider our respite care services in Gloucester County. Here are a few reasons to trust our team of talented caregivers with your senior parent.
Reduce stress
related to the holidays. The
most wonderful time of the year can sometimes put people over the edge.
Full-time caregivers often have their own families to prepare and provide for
over the holidays. Some of the biggest stress-inducers of the holiday season
include the financial worry of buying gifts, hosting Christmas dinner, or
having extended family come and stay with you through New Year’s.
While you may miss
seeing your extended family, the holidays are a great time to get away with
your immediate family. Taking a vacation is not only encouraged, but necessary
for full-time caregivers to do their job to the best of their ability. If you
can’t rely on other family members to step up during this time, respite care
can be a more viable option for your senior loved one. Respite residents at our
senior community in Pitman, NJ have access to all social activities and
programs offered to ensure they won’t feel lonely or isolated. We also allow
visitation from extended family members during the holiday season.
We’ll care for your
loved ones as if they’re our own. While you’re taking a much-needed break, your loved one will be in the
best hands possible. Having a complete understanding of your senior parent’s
medical needs, abilities, and preferences will help them transition to UMC at
Pitman more seamlessly. Whether their needs consist of social interaction,
daily exercise, assistance with activities of daily living, or even memory
support, our Life Enrichment Team Specialists are on-site 24 hours a day to
ensure your loved one’s comfort at all times. All of our associates have a real
passion for senior care and are fulfilled by providing your loved ones with the
best quality of life possible during their stay.
