Respite Care is Right For Everyone
If you’re one of the 40 million people in the U.S. caring for a disabled or elderly person, you know that it is no small feat. Even in the best situations, the physical and emotional toll can be overwhelming. And if you’re drained, you are less effective at playing this critical role for the person who needs it most.
This is why respite care at Mount Carmel Senior Living is not only the best option for your loved one, but for you.
Respite care is valuable in the following situations:
- The caregiver needs a rejuvenating break
- The caregiver needs to travel for a few days
- The caregiver goes on vacation
- The caregiver wants to take care of things around the home
- The loved one receiving the care may want a change of pace to promote their own well-being
- A trial run for a loved one to ease them into an assisted living or nursing care community

“I suffered sciatic nerve damage, which caused paralysis from the knees down. The therapy was great and the staff was very nice. I was able to return home, go to the gym, drive and improve my mobility. Mount Carmel has every service available and is the best around.”
