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

Receiving respite care at home is highly beneficial, as it removes the need for relocating to a care home, even temporarily. This means you can stay in the place you love, surrounded by your precious items and pets, and especially people. You might be supported by family members usually or perhaps another caregiver, however everyone needs a break from time to time and when your regular carer needs time away they need to know that you will be still be cared for to the same high standards.

We can arrange care cover quickly, covering any of the following instances:

Respite care services tailored to you

With respite care from the team in Harrow, we’ll provide a personalised package of care that allows you to get some time to yourself to rest and relax, without your loved one’s care being compromised. 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

If you or a loved one is about to be discharged from hospital you need to know that there will be a continuity of after care available to you when you’re back at home. This is where the Harrow team can support you with respite care. If you only require support to get back on your feet and know it won’t be for long, respite care at home can be a very helpful option. Your package of care will be flexible to your ongoing needs, and if you decide you would appreciate care continuing, that can be easily arranged.

Emergency care

When emergency care is needed in a hurry, due to an unexpected hospital discharge or maybe because your permanent carer has to go home quickly, you need to know that there will be continuity of care in place so that your needs are still fully supported. Family will often try to step in temporarily but that can be difficult as they’ll have their own lives to organise, plus they may live some distance away. If you have higher level needs, you’ll benefit from having professional carers looking after you, and it also means that your loved ones can concentrate on spending quality time with you instead.
