Respite care
A proper break for you, and care at home for them
Caring for someone you love can be a demanding job, and nobody should face it alone. Live-in respite care lets you take time away, knowing your loved one is supported at home.
Caring for someone you love can be a demanding job, and nobody should face it alone. Live-in respite care lets you take time away, knowing your loved one is supported at home.
Caring for a loved one often means juggling hands-on care every day while still managing your own home and work. For most people it’s second nature, but it can become emotionally and physically exhausting.
Over time it can affect both the relationship and the carer’s own health.
Live-in respite care provides a much-needed break for everyone.
Some time away can make all the difference.
A relaxing, worry-free break or holiday, giving you the chance to recharge and come back to caring refreshed.
We’ll find someone who works around any existing care plan, minimising disruption for your loved one.
Your loved one stays in their own home, with their routines, possessions and pets, rather than moving somewhere new for a short stay.
Life is unpredictable and needs change. We aim to offer a flexible service that works for everyone involved, whether that’s a one-off break or regular respite.
The more notice we have, the easier it is to find the right person, but we’ll always do what we can.
Call or email us with your dates, or just the idea of a break. Some situations are urgent, and we’ll move as quickly as needed.
We’ll take time to understand the person, their needs and what matters most to them, and explain the options and costs clearly.
We’ll meet you in person at home to answer any questions and gather the information we need. This helps us match the right care companion, based on personality as well as experience. You’ll be introduced to your care companion before anything is agreed.
Your care companion supports your loved one while you’re away, and we stay in touch as and when needed.
We help you find the right companion, one who provides peace of mind while supporting independence in a safe, familiar home environment. Our long-standing relationships are with care companions who have proven themselves in providing excellent care, and over 25 years in the sector we’ve developed a highly selective recruitment process.
All our care companions have extensive live-in care experience, from companionship to complex dementia care. They are fully checked and vetted, including Enhanced DBS checks, a full work history, multiple professional references and verified, up-to-date training.
On top of all the mandatory checks, we look for people who are naturally caring and compassionate, and who share our values of trust and integrity.
Respite can be arranged for a holiday, a few weeks, or as regular breaks throughout the year. Talk to us about what you need and we’ll explain what’s possible.
