Hounslow respite support from Helping Hands

When you are in need of short-term respite care at home, then Helping Hands’ dedicated Hounslow care team will be able to support you, even in an emergency. Respite care is usually needed when your regular carer needs to take a well-earned break or you’re recovering from an accident or illness, meaning your care will remain consistent and you’ll still receive the highest standards of care while they’re away. If you’ve never had a carer before then temporary support can help you to discover if having someone coming to your home is the right provision for you, but we’re confident that once your care begins, you’ll look forward to seeing your friendly carer’s face every day.

What is respite care?

Respite care is often necessary when your regular carer needs a break, you’re being discharged from hospital or if family members are taking a holiday. It’s often presumed that respite care has to take place away from your home in residential homes, however that isn’t the case. You can receive respite care in the comfort and security of your own home, either on a visiting care basis from a small team of carers or even your own live-in caregiver who will be with you around the clock.

When to choose respite care

If you have a regular carer you’ll know how important it is for them to take a break from time to time, so that they stay in the best of health, both physically and mentally. It’s also important for you to have the opportunity to see different people sometimes and having a respite carer can mean you get important social interaction with the equivalent of a change of scene. Alternatively, you may have been told that you’re being unexpectedly discharged from hospital and you need care in an emergency, in which case we can have a carer there for you within 24 hours.

Respite care services tailored to you

Your bespoke package of care will be organised around your particular needs and you’ll have a personalised support plan in your home for your carers to follow. This ensures that your particular preferences for how your care is carried out will always be respected, whether you have mild or highly complex care needs. Your compassionate carers will be able to support you with a range of tasks in your home including personal care, medication, meal preparation, housework, mobility, and much more, including everything from simple companionship through to helping you access your local community.
