When to choose respite care
Respite care from Helping Hands gives you the opportunity to have one of our wonderful, highly trained carers in your home at short notice – often within 24 hours of your initial phone call. Our customers have all sorts of reasons for using our respite care service – if they’re being cared for by a family member, then a few days of respite care can allow that person to enjoy a well-earned break – or perhaps they’ve experienced a medical setback and aren’t able to look after themselves and their home as they normally would. Whatever your particular situation, our empathetic carers will make sure you receive all the support you require to continue life as normal.
Respite care services tailored to you
We appreciate that your respite care needs will be different to everyone else’s, which is why our care experts in Clacton-on-Sea will always take the time to understand your requirements and preferences when designing your personalised care plan. Perhaps you’re used to your normal carer doing things a certain way, or you’re living with a complex medical condition that requires a particular type of care. Whether you’d benefit from overnight care, live-in care, or just a few hours of weekly visiting care, we can tailor a package of care that gives you full support in the areas you need it most.
