Respite Care in Dorset

Respite care is ideal for when your regular caregiver needs a break, or you need support on a short-term basis. There could be various reasons why you need respite support, for instance if you’ve had an accident, you’ve been discharged from hospital early, you’re recovering from surgery, or the care you currently receive is not enough for a worsening condition.

A respite carer will support you so that you continue to live as independently as possible in the home you love. That way, your care continues seamlessly without you needing to uproot and move into a residential home, even for a short while. Our packages of care are designed individually for our customers, meaning that you get tailored care and support with your personal care, medication, meal preparation, housework, and with every other aspect of your daily routine.

At Helping Hands, we employ only the most compassionate people across Dorset who will provide the highest levels of support for our customers, every single day. Once working for us we build on their existing skills and equip them with new ones, that will see our customers’ needs supported constantly. Our training and development has been honed by our care experts and is constantly updated as industry needs change, meaning carers and managers across the county are equipped with the latest skills. We’ve provided home care in Dorset and respite care for thousands of people in varying circumstances over the last three decades, and because all our care delivery is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission, you and your loved ones can trust us to do as we promise.

If you or your loved ones are looking for respite care you can call our friendly customer care team seven days a week, to have all of your questions answered. Alternatively, you can request a call back at a time that suits you or talk to us via our web chat service. You can also pop into any of our branches across Dorset, and if you’d like to find the one nearest to you, please check here.
