It takes a lot of time and energy to care for someone you love, but sometimes you might need to take a temporary break.
Prestige Living Healthcare does support respite care, and our Caregiver Respite Care Programs offer you temporary relief, so you can have a chance to recharge when you need to, and enjoy more fulfilling and meaningful time with your loved ones.
Three out of five people with dementia will go missing as some individuals with Alzheimer’s disease may become disoriented when they are outside their home or in unfamiliar surroundings.
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias are progressive, worsen over time and affect cognitive functioning.
At different stages, these diseases can affect daily activities and functioning as they include memory loss, confusion, difficulty completing familiar tasks, misplacement of items, decreased judgment, withdrawal from social interaction and activities, as well as changes in mood or personality.
Many people aging with Alzheimer’s disease also experience Sundowner’s syndrome.
Along with preliminary symptoms, there are also substantial risks with Alzheimer’s and related dementias like wandering. To prevent wandering, Prestige Living Healthcare’s priority through its dementia care is clients’ safety and allowing them to receive care in a familiar setting – their own home.
Our services include respite options, and emergency respite care to provide you with a much needed break right when you need it most.
Our professionals will ensure your loved one is cared for — at home or in any setting — for a couple of hours, an entire day, overnight, or even longer term. By stepping out of your caregiving tasks, and taking the time to relax, re-energise, and refresh, you’ll enhance your own well-being, as well as strengthen your relationship with the person you’re caring for. This can make all the difference in the world.
Juggling the overwhelming balance of duties might seem doable to you some days, but going too long without a break to refresh and re-set can lead to burn-out, depression and other health issues.
Prestige Living Healthcare knows how important short breaks are in order to help you make it through the long haul ahead of you. This is why our Caregiver Respite Services are tailored-made to each individual and family situation to ensure you get the necessary relief and support you need at exactly the right time.
Before deciding what type of respite care services you and your family might need, our Care Designer will sit down and speak with you about what might work best for you. Do you need a few hours off twice a week? 24 hours away from the house? Or perhaps a regular weekly night out with your partner or friends?
Once you’ve determined how much time away would be beneficial, we can then work with you to design an aged care respite program that is best for your loved one too. What do they need most at this moment? Companionship and meal preparation? Or maybe some light housekeeping and personal care? We’ll discuss every detail with you and create a plan that meets everyone’s needs.
