When to choose respite care
Respite support can be needed for several reasons – perhaps you’ve been in hospital and would appreciate some support at home to get you back to full health, your family may be going away and want to ensure you’re cared for properly, or it could be that you already have professional care, yet they need to take a well-earned break.
Regardless of why you need us, just be reassured by our comprehensive coverage of Cornwall and the fact that we can support you on a visiting care or live-in care basis.
Respite care services tailored to you
At Helping Hands, we don’t believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach to care, which is why we always put our customers at the heart of their care experience. Our live in care in Cornwall team will care package to your essential requirements, ensuring that the way you like to live continues while we support you.
We’ll put a personalised support plan into your home so that every aspect of your care is detailed for your carers to follow, and no matter how long we’re supporting you, we’ll always ensure seamless continuity of care.

FAQs
Respite care provides short-term support at home, either planned in advance or arranged at short notice, when extra help is needed. It can cover recovery after a hospital stay or illness, or step in temporarily while your usual carer or family member takes a break.
It suits people in Cornwall who need temporary support after surgery or illness, families whose regular caregiver needs time to rest, and anyone who wants reassurance that a loved one is safe and supported while they take a short break.
Your carer can help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, light household tasks, mobility support and companionship, all built around your usual routine rather than a fixed schedule.
The cost of respite care depends on the type and level of support needed. Cornwall visiting care starts from £32.40 per hour, while respite live-in care starts from £345 per week. We’ll always explain costs clearly before care begins.
