When to choose respite care
If you or a loved one find yourself requiring additional care support at short notice, respite care is a great way to ensure you’re not left feeling isolated or unsupported. With respite care from Helping Hands, you’ll get one of our superb, highly-trained carers in your home within 24 hours of your initial phone call, meaning you won’t have to worry about whether the housework will get done or who will take care of your personal needs and routines. We can’t always anticipate when we might require care – it might be that you’ve been discharged from hospital earlier than expected, or your normal carer is taking a well-earned break but hasn’t been able to arrange cover. Whatever your reason for needing respite care, our Burgess Hill carers will be happy to provide you with all the extra assistance you require.

Respite care services tailored to you
When you choose Helping Hands for respite care, you’ll be partnering with a care provider who are fully committed to ensuring you receive a care plan that is designed entirely around your personal requirements and preferences. We understand that no two people share the same care needs and circumstances, so we’ll always make sure we take the time to understand your condition and are aware of the way you like things to be done in your home so that we can tailor your package of care to you.
