When Mom Can’t Be Home Alone, Consider Respite Care

Americans are living longer, and it’s becoming the new normal for adult children to care for their aging parents at home. Frequently we see a loving adult child in the middle of their life, taking on caregiving duties for Mom or Dad. In addition, they have a job that requires daily attendance, a spouse who requires a partner, and children who require attention. It’s a balancing act that is guaranteed to stress and tire anyone. Thankfully, Mayberry Gardens offers a solution of adult respite care.

The adult respite or day stay program at Mayberry Gardens allows caregivers to safely leave their loved ones with trained professionals while they fulfill other obligations throughout the day. They accept clients of several different types: memory care clients, clients who need assistance with activities of daily living, and clients who are generally independent but unable to leave the house by themselves. Clients are supervised during their visit, ensuring that their needs are met while giving them the freedom and independence that they, as adults, desperately need.

While at Mayberry Gardens, your loved one will be provided with whatever assistance they need to do things like bathing, dressing, and grooming. Staff are trained to administer medications appropriately. Meals are provided, all planned by a nutritionist and cooked by dietary staff to provide your loved one with a healthy, delicious meal. In the meantime, your loved one can enjoy socialization with companions in similar situations.

While your loved one is enjoying a visit at Mayberry Gardens, you as the caregiver have the freedom to work. You can run errands without fear for your loved one’s safety. You can focus on those little things that sometimes get pushed to the wayside. You can even take the day off and do absolutely nothing if you need to. Let Mayberry Gardens help you as you help your loved one.

Mayberry Gardens currently has facilities in Denton, Texas and Garland, Texas. The new Mayberry Gardens facility will be opening in Grand Prairie, Texas on December 1, 2019. Please contact us for more information about respite care or any of our services!
