Respite care in Basingstoke

When should I choose respite care, and what can a carer help with?

Receiving care at home can be beneficial for both your physical and mental health, as you’ll be surrounded by personal items and memories that mean the world to you. This can help to reduce anxiety levels, increase comfort and can be preferable to relocating to residential care in some circumstances. Our compassionate and expert carers will support you with every aspect of your care, including personal care, mobility support, medication administration and housework. Your flexible package of care will adapt with you, so if at any point your needs change, we will ensure that your care does too.

Why you may need Basingstoke respite care

You'll receive continuity of care, even if your regular carer is away for a while. Staying at home for one-to-one care means you can have your meals when you want them and get up when you choose to, not when the carer has a window of opportunity to help.

The benefits of respite care at home

If you’re being discharged from hospital and you are concerned that you won’t be able to manage when you get home, respite care is an ideal solution that will see a carer supporting you until you’re back on your feet, or family can look after you.
