Illustrative photographRespite care
Caring for someone you love is rewarding, and it is tiring. Respite care gives family carers a proper break, while someone you trust steps in and keeps the usual routine going.
What this includes.
Every care plan is agreed with you, so you choose which of these you need, and when.
- Cover arranged around the dates and times you need
- Care that follows the person's usual routine
- Personal care, meals and medicines, as needed
- Company and activities while you are away
- Cover at short notice when we can. Just ask.
How care starts.
Four steps, and the first one is a phone call.
Talk to us
Call or email and tell us who the care is for. You don't need every answer yet.
We visit and assess
We come to the home, meet the person, and find out what a good day looks like for them.
Agree the plan
Together we choose the visits and the help, and write them into a care plan.
