Respite Care
What does a respite carer do?
Our professional carers are there to support people’s existing lifestyles, whilst positively enhancing them. A respite carer can offer companionship and friendship, from cooking meals and eating together to heading out to a club or activity or offering a much-needed listening ear.
Sometimes incidents happen leaving you without the care you need to continue living at home safely and independently. Emergency respite care can be used to fill the gap when a person’s regular carer becomes unavailable or a sudden fall, injury or illness occurs and you need dedicated support to recover.
Just contact our friendly team and let them know about your situation. We will make it a priority to get you the respite care you need when you need it.
Our carers can provide support in the following ways:
Personal care (hygiene)
Cooking and meal planning
Housekeeping – cleaning and laundry
Household management/administration
Mobility support
Social activities and lifestyle support – both in and out of the home
Shopping and trips outdoors
Post-hospitalisation and rehabilitation care
Emergency respite care
Respite Care at Home
Respite care at home is a short and flexible arrangement that allows for someone to be cared for in the comfort and familiarity of their own home by a professional carer. This gives family carers the time to take a much-needed break from caregiving duties to relax and recharge. Respite care also allows families to try out a live-in care arrangement on a short-term basis to see if it suits their needs before committing.
How to arrange respite care
If you get in touch with us, you can speak to a member of our experienced team who will answer any questions you may have and provide any information you need to make the right decision.
We will then arrange a no-obligation home meeting with you and your loved one to discuss their needs. We can explain in detail how we will match the perfect professional carer for you so we can ensure we get the right team and care package in place.
