Respite care in Hampshire

Respite care is a short-term care option for those times when you need additional support at home but only on a temporary basis. Our wonderful Hampshire care team are able to provide respite care in your time of need – and if it’s a real emergency, they can usually have a carer in your home within 24 hours of your initial phone call. Whatever your reason for requiring respite care, you can be confident that our expert carers will be able to provide you with a service that supports your independence and gives you the type and level of support you need in your circumstances. We’ve been providing respite care, as well as many other home care services, since 1989, so we know how to deliver a seamless, professional respite care plan that gives you the compassionate, attentive care you or your loved one deserve. Every aspect of our care is fully regulated and monitored by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you peace of mind about the service you’ll receive.

There aren’t really any limitations surrounding when you can opt for respite care, but there are some instances in which it is a particularly popular option. It might be that your normal carer is taking a well-earned break from their responsibilities and you need someone to cover for them, or perhaps you’re recovering from an accident or surgery and would benefit from a bit of extra help until you’re back on your feet. Respite care can be used for up to anything up to five weeks for visiting care, and eight weeks for live-in care – after which it becomes ongoing care. Of course, your local care manager in Hampshire will always be happy to help arrange a more permanent care solution should you end up requiring one.

If you’re looking for home care in Hampshire, it’s important to have a care service that is designed around your specific needs and wishes. Your circumstances and condition will be completely unique to you, so it doesn’t make sense to receive support that isn’t also unique to you. That’s why we’ll always take the time to fully understand how we can best support you – whether that’s ensuring we’re aware of any health concerns you have, or simply making a note of the way you like things to be done around your home and the routines you like to maintain.

At Helping Hands, we’ve got over 30 years of home care experience and expertise, so it’s no surprise that we know what makes a truly exceptional carer. Our care teams in Hampshire only hire carers who have a compassionate, dedicated approach to their roles, and every applicant must go through a rigorous recruitment process and numerous background checks before being accepted onto our carer training programme. Our industry-leading carer training provides every carer with the knowledge and skills they need to provide a wide range of expert care services, and they’ll continue to undertake regular refresher courses so that they’re always up to date with the latest care industry standards and best practices.
