Are you trying to juggle family or work life with caring for an elderly parent? Do you even recognize the person that you used to be? At Potomac Homes we have a clear understanding of what is involved in caring for someone with dementia. It can be draining. Caregivers can greatly benefit from a short time away from their loved one to recharge and regain their perspective. We have rooms available for one and two week stays to enable our families to enjoy a "short period of rest or relief" to maintain a balance in their life. Take some time for yourself, nurture your own family and friendships, call us to arrange a respite stay to help you help others.
