What Is Respite Care?
Respite care allows a trained carer to temporarily step in to look after your loved one, so you can take a break. That might be for a few hours, a day, or a short stay whatever you need, and your loved one still gets help with everyday things like washing, meals, medication and company at home.”
Feeling guilty about needing a break? Feeling guilty about needing a break? You’re not alone. Most family carers feel this way at some point, but taking respite is not letting your loved one down. It’s how you stay well enough to keep caring.
Respite care means taking a break from caring, while the person you care for is looked after by someone else. According to the NHS: “It lets you take time out to look after yourself and helps stop you becoming exhausted and run down.”

We Understand the Challenges
We know that taking a break can sometimes feel overwhelming or even guilt-inducing. Remember, choosing respite care is not letting your loved one down—it’s an essential step in maintaining your own health so you can continue to provide care in the long term. We truly understand what you’re going through and are here to support you every step of the way.
No drop in care quality
Our respite care services will be matched to the existing standards of service that are currently being provided by the carer. This also helps to minimise any confusion or disruption for the individual being cared for. Respite care may be on a short or long-term basis, as a one-off or continual service arrangement.
Why home care
Taking A Break Is Important
It is important for people providing care, especially on a personal basis, to take a break, regroup and get a chance to get on with other things in their lives. It also helps the individual receiving the care to interact with a new face. We will also try as much as possible to avoid any disruptions or interruptions to any current arrangements.
