Christmas can be a stressful time of year with its intense buildup, pressure to have the perfect day and the chaos of organising it.
If you’re loved one is cared for by you
If you employ a professional home carer
It is important to talk with your family and friends about how you will approach Christmas as well as discuss any concerns or worries you have. This can help to alleviate stress, reduce conflict and help to make the festive period run smoother.
For families who face many challenges of organising care for a loved one, respite care can help to face these difficulties by providing them with some relief. This does not convey that you are not coping but when there is a lot on your plate with the upcoming festivities, the demands of the usual routine can be tricky. Ultimately, the decision should be based around the individual needing care
Helping you care for your relative during the busy festive period. If you think you need an extra pair of hands, a respite carer will assist you with your day-to-day caring responsibilities, so that you can make the most of this period and take time for yourself and other members of the family.
Allowing you to relieve stress and take a break, knowing your relative is well looked after at home. It is very important to recuperate from time to time so that you can go back to your caring responsibilities with even more energy.
Creating a nice and relaxing environment for your loved ones during Christmas. With the help of a respite carer, you can feel like you have everything under control, even during the hectic festive period. The person receiving care will certainly benefit from this as well. Thanks to their respite carer, they’ll be able to stick to their routine and can enjoy your company more than if you were juggling between caring responsibilities and stressful last-minute Christmas tasks.
