Why respite care is a good option for short-term support

You may not want to relocate to a care home, even temporarily, so being cared for in your own home is a valuable alternative. You might usually be supported by family members or a professional caregiver, however everyone needs a break from time to time and when your regular carer goes away, they need to know that you will be still be cared for to the same high standards.

We can arrange cover at short notice, in any of the following circumstances:

Respite care services tailored to you

With your personalised support plan in place, your carer will ensure that your routines and preferences are respected at all times. Your carer will be able to undertake all necessary care tasks, including medication administration, mobility support, housework & laundry, meal preparation and personal care.

Post-discharge support across Gloucester

If you or a loved one is about to be discharged from hospital you need to know that there will be a continuity of care available to you when you’re back at home. You may only require support to get back on your feet but even for a short while, respite care at home can be a very helpful option. Your package of care will be flexible to your ongoing needs, and if you eventually decide you would like to keep care in place, that can be arranged by our Gloucester team.

Gloucester emergency care

When care is needed in a hurry, family will often try to step in temporarily but that isn’t always ideal as they’ll have their own lives to organise. If your regular carer has had to go home without warning leaving you without care, or perhaps your hospital discharge wasn’t planned, having professional care in place to come home to can be the perfect solution. You’ll benefit from being professionally cared for and it also means that your loved ones can concentrate on spending quality time with you, instead of worrying about your care needs. We can have emergency home care in place for you within 24 hours, so talk to us about yours or a loved one’s care today.
