Respite Caregivers Step in When You Need Relief
Serving as a caregiver for an aging family member can be very rewarding, as you keep them living independently in the comfort of their own home. But on the flip side, it can sometimes be exhausting, and there are days when you both need to take a break from one another’s company. That’s when a respite caregiver from AEC Home Care can step in and give you both the break you need with our family-trusted relief services. We provide families in Alameda and Oakland, California with respite care that’s reliable, friendly, and affordable.
Our respite caregivers will temporarily take over your loved one’s needs, with a focus on maintaining a normal daily routine, along with their physical and mental well-being.
