Respite care is short-term care that can be necessary when your carer needs to take a break, or you need some temporary support due to an illness or injury. Relocating to a residential home in the short-term is not everyone’s preference, and most people would prefer to stay at home if the choice arose. With Helping Hands’ local Home Care in Cheshire teams, this is exactly what can happen though, on a visiting or live-in basis to suit you.
You may have had a fall, be living with a long-term condition, or just need extra help until your regular carer returns from their holiday. Despite being one of the most rewarding jobs around, caring for someone else can be tiring, both physically and emotionally, so to ensure they get to unwind effectively its vital they get a chance for regular time off.
Our respite care services can be delivered on either a visiting or live-in care basis to suit your needs and routine, whether that’s supporting with your personal care, undertaking housework, or helping you to access your local community in Cheshire. We’ll design you a personalised package of support that will ensure your daily routine carries on uninterrupted, leading to a comfortable and safe experience for you until your regular carer returns, or until you’re back on your feet again.
Helping Hands is considered the UK’s foremost home care expert, not just because we’ve been delivering exceptional care since 1989 but because of our amazing carers.
