Respite Care at Home

Temporary care at home when a family carer needs a rest, a holiday or time to recover, so your loved one can stay settled in their own surroundings.

A Break for You, Continuity for Them

Caring for someone you love is rewarding, but it can also be tiring. Respite care gives family carers a chance to rest, recharge or attend to other commitments, while we step in to provide the care your loved one is used to.

Because respite happens at home, routines stay the same. There is no need to move into a care home for a short stay, which can be unsettling, especially for people living with dementia.

Who Respite Care Can Help

  • Family carers who need a holiday or a regular break
  • Carers recovering from illness or an operation
  • Families with a wedding, event or emergency to attend
