What is respite care?

Respite care is a short-term package of care that is usually required when a person has temporarily been incapacitated by illness, surgery or injury and they need an extra level of care just to get them back to full health. It can also be necessary when your regular scheduled carer needs to take a well-earned break and you need another carer to come in and cover their duties until they return.

When to choose respite care

Respite care can be useful for a number of reasons, especially when your regular carer is away and your family cannot add the pressure of caring for you full-time to their already busy lives. It could also be that your carer hasn’t been able to give notice of their intention to leave, such as if they’ve been taken ill, and you’re suddenly left without care. This is where Helping Hands can save the day better than most other private care companies, as due to our vast amount of directly employed carers and 150-strong network of branches, we will usually be able to get emergency care into your home the very same day you call us.

Respite care services tailored to you

We tailor our bespoke packages of care to your particular needs, meaning that whatever condition, illness or circumstance you’re living with we will have already experienced caring for someone living with it. Our care packages can be delivered on either a visiting or live in care basis, meaning you can have someone come in from as little as 30 minutes per week, several times throughout the day or night, or live with you around the clock. Your care will be accompanied by a personalised, detailed support plan that will ensure your carer knows every aspect of your daily routine and how you like it carried out, so whether it’s personal care, medication, enjoying the community or planning a meal, our carers will do all of this and so much more to ensure you live your life to the fullest.
