It’s necessary to take breaks, and our Kelowna respite care professionals recognize that being the only caregiver for a loved one can be a gratifying experience. It may, however, be a stressful and taxing task, particularly when combined with raising children or having a full-time job. However, family caregivers are not alone. Millions of Canadians (mostly Baby Boomers) typically look after an aging relative regularly.

With so many people depending on them, family members must take the time to care for themselves. No matter how much they love the people they care for, caretakers need regular breaks to be their best. That is where our care from Comfort Keepers® can help. Our senior caregivers provide professional in-home care for seniors and other adults who require assistance to temporarily relieve caretakers so they can attend to other matters such as the following:

• Run errands
• Spend time shopping
• Meet with a support group
• Make a dentist or doctor appointment
• Enjoy much-deserved alone time, a day off, or a vacation
