When to choose respite care

Respite care is perfect for you if your primary caregiver or family member will be unavailable to provide you with your regular care. Perhaps they are jetting off on holiday or just need a break due to illness. Whatever the reason, a Helping Hands carer can step in and take the reins for a short period of time. Our live-in respite care begins from just seven days to up to five weeks, while our visiting respite care can begin from just 30 minutes a week. With us, you can continue living life with your care needs supported without skipping a beat. We’re experts at care and we’ll adapt quickly to what you need.

Respite care services tailored to you

We can also help with your rehabilitation if you’ve had a spell in the hospital and need some support while you sit back and try to get back on your feet. We can help with post-operative care that will provide priceless support to you if you need it. We also offer condition-led care which can help with dementia, cancer, strokes, and much more. We get to know you and your condition so you can manage it as opposed to it managing you. All our carers a kind and compassionate people so you’ll feel comfortable inviting them into your home for temporary care.
