What is respite care?

It’s a huge responsibility to look after a loved one and we understand the demanding duties of being a full-time carer. That’s why Helping Hands offers respite care, where our friendly carers step in while you take a well-earned break. After all, we all need to recharge our batteries.

From helping with cooking meals and washing to accompanying your loved one with errands and shopping, our dedicated carers are here to help you with any additional support you need around the home. Respite care is ideal when you need a carer on a short-term basis. Our carers can provide you with expert care at home instead of a care home. So, there will be minimal disturbance to your loved one’s routine.

Paignton respite support from Helping Hands

We have been providing care at home since 1989, so it’s no wonder that our carers are the best in the industry. Our Helping Hands Paignton care team can offer bespoke respite care packages – putting you in the forefront.

Our carers are local experts on the beautiful surroundings of Paignton. Whether you want to go for a walk down the coast, a bite to eat at the café or stay indoors with a cuppa – we will be there to accompany your loved one, while you are away.

When to choose respite care

Respite care is organised when you need additional help or are away for a short period of time. Our respite care service will give you peace of mind when you are not home with your loved one.  Whether you need care for as little as 30 minutes a day, a weekend or a week, our team is here to make your life easier.

At Helping Hands, we don’t want to disrupt your loved one’s routine, so we make sure our care packages are bespoke and catered around you. We will take time to understand your loved one’s circumstances and support them to live a healthy and independent life. So, don’t worry, your loved one will be well looked after by our dedicated team.
