Short-Term & Long-Term Care

Short-Term & Long-Term Care in Texas

We understand that life can be unpredictable and sometimes circumstances arise that require additional help and support, which is why we, DLP Home Care, proudly offer both short-term and long-term in-home care services to assist families with taking care of their loved ones.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term

Families need to understand the fundamental differences between short-term and long-term care to make informed decisions that best suit the needs of their loved ones.

Short-Term Care

Typically, short-term care serves as a bridge to recovery, offering support during healing after surgery, an illness, or an injury. It’s designed to be temporary, with the goal of helping individuals regain their independence over a period that can range from a few weeks to a few months.

Long-Term Care

This type of care is geared towards providing ongoing assistance with the activities of daily living for those facing chronic health issues, disabilities, or the natural process of aging. Long-term care might be necessary for years and is crafted to adapt to individuals’ evolving needs over time.

Shopping & Errands

Primary caregiver relief, also known as respite care, is an essential service we offer at DLP Home Care, designed with the well-being of both our clients and their families in mind. This service acknowledges the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that can arise when caring for a loved one full-time.

Our compassionate team ensures a seamless continuation of care, giving peace of mind to families, knowing their loved ones are in supportive and capable hands. Our services are geared towards helping the well-being of individuals as well as providing vast benefits to their loved ones. Hiring our respite care team can:

Prevent Caregiver Burnout

By providing regular intervals of rest and personal time, respite care helps prevent the feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm that can accompany continuous caregiving.

Promote a Balanced Lifestyle

Respite care affords caregivers the chance to maintain a balance between their caregiving responsibilities and their personal lives, including spending time with other family members, pursuing hobbies, or socializing.

Provide Professional Care

Loved ones benefit from the high-quality, compassionate care provided by trained professionals, ensuring their needs are met even in the absence of the primary caregiver.

Support Emotional Well-being

Both caregivers and their loved ones benefit emotionally as caregivers return to their duties refreshed and with renewed patience and love, fostering a positive caregiving environment.

Establish Peace of Mind

Knowing that a loved one is in safe, capable hands allows caregivers to fully enjoy their time off without worrying about the safety or well-being of the person they care for.
