"Gimme a Break!"

Remember the flight attendant's instructions, "Be sure your mask is secure before assisting others."  


Let Superior Health, Inc. give you the break you so richly deserve with our Respite Care Service.  Did you know that most insurance plans allow for respite time for caregivers and that even if Respite Care is not covered by your insurance that Superior Health, Inc. accepts private pay?  Sources say that even though many families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support, such as respite. Respite Care provides the much needed temporary break from the often exhausting challenges faced by the family caregiver or commonly called the informal or unpaid caregiver.  Caring for another is both rewarding and draining.  It warms us to know that because of us our father, mother, spouse or child remains in the comfort of home.  We derive satisfaction in knowing that because of our attention and dedication,  our loved one awakens each morning in his or her own bed.  The flip side of this is the negative feelings associated with what is called "caregiver stress".   It is not uncommon for caregivers to feel guilty about what they should be doing or saying to better help their loved one; to feel guilty for wishing they didn't have to assume so many caregiving responsibilities and to put areas of their own life on hold.   These feelings are natural and there is no need to feel bad about asking for help.  Let SHI's Respite Care give you the break you need. After all if we don't take care of ourselves, how can we take care of others?
