Respite Care Overview

Respite Care Offers Temporary Support For When Your Normal Carers Are Not Available

As with our other care services, respite care can provide support for various conditions including Alzheimer’s, Strokes, Cancer, and more.

In-home respite care provides temporary relief by having a trained caregiver come to your home to care for your loved one. This service allows you to take a break and recharge, knowing that the person you care for is receiving professional support in a familiar environment. This can be for numerous care types, including assisted living, residential care, types of dementia care and nursing care.

Caring for a loved one is a role that demands a lot of commitment and selflessness, that can take up a lot of emotional and physical energy. It is understandable that at times you will need a break in order to rest and recuperate. In fact, it is important that you take time for yourself every now and then in order to relax and ensure that you can continue to provide the high quality care that your loved one requires.

However, the prospect of leaving your loved one whilst you take a short break from your role or go on holiday can be a daunting one as you want to ensure that your loved one is still well cared for. During this time you may consider hiring a short-term, part-time or live-in carer to care for loved one whilst you are away.
