Northampton respite support from Helping Hands

Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but also physically and mentally exhausting at times, which is why it’s so important that your carers get to take regular breaks from their caring duties. Everyone needs time to relax and recharge themselves when they’ve been caring for someone else, and that’s where respite care can be especially valuable. At Helping Hands we’ve been providing Home care for our customers in their own homes since 1989, which is why when we say we’re the care experts you can be confident in our claims. We can provide temporary respite care on either a visiting or live-in basis and our dedicated live-in care Northampton team will ensure you live your best life possible in the home you love.

What is respite care?

Respite care is usually temporary cover for a week or two so that your regular carer can take a break, or you can have extra support to see you back on your feet after an illness or surgery. We offer respite care on both a visiting-care basis – where your carers come to you at fixed times of the day and help you with tasks, or live-in care where someone resides in your home around the clock for extra reassurance and companionship.

When to choose respite care

If you’ve been in hospital and you’re worried how you’ll manage at home after you’re discharged, then respite care for a week or two can help you get back on your feet. Alternatively, if you already have a carer you’ll know how hard they work and how deserving they are of a break, whether that’s a professional carer or a family member. Perhaps you’ve been reluctant to accept respite before because you’re worried about leaving your home, but with respite home care Northampton from Helping Hands, you don’t have to. Your carers will come to you in the home you love, and you’ll soon look forward to their cheerful arrival and the dignified way they carry out your care. What’s more, we always make sure that there’s the minimum of disruption from your regular care service to us, and back again.
