Brandywine Living at Senior Suites

As we age, some activities become increasingly strenuous. We might have to carry the groceries in from the car or travel to the doctor’s office multiple times per week. Things that used to be easy just aren’t anymore.

Many senior citizens will eventually require the help of a family member or loved one to accomplish these Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

Family caregivers are some of the most selfless and hardworking people out there. But while they are doing everything within their power to ensure their loved one is cared for, there is still only so much they can do.

If you are a caregiver to a parent or other family member, you might need a break from watching after your loved one for a long time. Being a primary caregiver is, after all, a full-time job. When you need a short-term break, a respite stay at a community may be your best option.
