Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum duration for a respite service?
Durations are flexible and can vary from a visit of a few hours in one day to several consecutive days depending on your needs.
Are the services provided by professionals?
Yes, all our caregivers are qualified and trained to provide quality care to clients with physical and cognitive impairments. They have experience working in seniors' residences, long-term care facilities, hospitals, and/or at home. We ensure they understand your loved one's situation and the care plan to be implemented for personalized and trustworthy support.
My loved one refuses to receive help from anyone other than me. How can I get them to accept outside help?
To encourage a loved one to accept outside help, it's important to respect their consent and not impose. Discuss daily challenges to help them recognize their needs, emphasizing that loss of autonomy isn't a failure, but a natural step. Present the benefits of receiving help, such as staying at home, and emphasize the collaborative nature of interventions. Suggest a trial with a caregiver who shares affinities with your loved one to create a friendly and reassuring relationship. Recognize your loved one as a whole person, not just as a "dependent," to facilitate acceptance of help. An Amika Care Advisor can support you in this process.
