When to choose respite care
If you are the primary carer for your loved one and looking to go away for the weekend, respite care can be a viable solution. It is natural to feel worried and we understand you don’t want to leave your loved one on their own. That’s where we come in; you'll be able to take a well-deserved break and recharge your batteries without any worries.
Or perhaps your loved one is recovering from an operation or accident and needs support until they get back on their feet. Whatever the reason, our care team in Northamptonshire can provide temporary care when needed.

Respite care services tailored to you
Our care packages are entirely designed around your loved one. After all, we want to ensure they receive exceptional care for as long as they need it.
At Helping Hands, we believe life is better at home; that’s why our carers come to your loved one’s home. They will be close to their friends and family, be able to sleep in their own bed and sit in their favourite chair with a hot cup of tea. Plus, you won’t have the hassle of relocating your loved one elsewhere; they'll be able to stay in a place they love.

FAQs
Respite care is short-term support that gives a regular carer a break while your loved one keeps receiving trusted care at home in Northampton. It can be visiting care or short-term live-in care, from a few days to a few weeks.
Families in Northampton use respite for a holiday, a hospital stay, recovery after illness, or simply to rest. It is also a good way to try home care before committing to something regular.
The same support as ongoing care: personal care, medication, meals, mobility, companionship and household help, delivered to the existing routine so the person you care for barely notices the change.
The cost of respite care depends on the type and level of support needed. Northampton visiting care starts from £32.40 per hour, while respite live-in care starts from £345 per week. We’ll always explain costs clearly before care begins.
We will always try to help at short notice, including emergencies, though booking ahead for planned breaks helps us match the right carer in Northampton.
