Many family caregivers in Pomona, Diamond Bar and Walnut juggle a job, their own family and a parent&#8217;s daily needs, often for months or years without a real day off. Over time, that pace wears people down.<\/p>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amadaseniorcare.com\/pomona-senior-care\/respite-care\/\">Respite care<\/a> gives family caregivers a break while a trained caregiver looks after their parent at home. Here is what it is, when it helps and how to make the most of it.<\/p>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p><br><\/p><\/p>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What respite care is<\/h2>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respite care is short-term help that lets the usual family caregiver step away. A professional caregiver comes to your parent&#8217;s home and takes over the day-to-day support for a few hours, a full day, overnight or even a week or two. Your parent stays in familiar surroundings, and you get time to rest, run errands, work, travel or simply sleep.<\/p>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p><br><\/p><\/p>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs you may need a break<\/h2>   <ul class=\"wp-block-list\">  <li>You feel tired all the time, even after a night&#8217;s sleep<\/li>  <li>You have little patience left, or feel guilty about feeling frustrated<\/li>  <li>You have stopped seeing friends or doing things you enjoy<\/li>  <li>Your own health appointments keep getting pushed back<\/li>  <li>You worry about what would happen to your parent if you got sick<\/li>  <\/ul>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not signs of failure.
