In your absence, our Respite Care ensures that your loved one’s care and support requirements are addressed. This is less disruptive than placing your loved one in temporary residential care since routines may continue and your loved one can stay in familiar surroundings with their local support system.

Respite carers realise that bringing someone else into your home may be a difficult choice, and they appreciate the need to organise this temporary care around your requirements with the least interruption.

Respite Care may range from a few days to many weeks, depending on your specific requirements. Of course, respite care isn’t only for when you need a break; it may also be offered in an emergency if you get sick or need to travel to the hospital on short notice. Respite Care is also useful if you and your loved one wish to experiment with home care for a short period of time to see whether it works for you.
