Romsey respite support from Helping Hands
Does your primary caregiver need a break? Are they going on holiday for two weeks and wondering who will take care of you while they’re gone? Or perhaps it’s all got a bit much right now and you need an extra hand. Whatever the reason, Helping Hands can offer temporary respite care in Romsey. From live-in care for as little as seven days to up to five weeks, we can provide a top-quality carer to help with any needs, including condition-led care such as dementia and elderly care. We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and have over 35 years of experience, so it’s safe to say we know what we’re doing.

When to choose respite care
We know that considering care options can be overwhelming. We also know that Romsey has a rich history and is even on the outskirts of the beautiful New Forest, so why would you want to leave? That’s why we offer our temporary respite care to give help when it’s needed at home. If you’re struggling a bit lately, whether that’s from age or a condition, it can be difficult to manage it all on your own. If you feel you’re not ready to commit to permanent care on a long-term basis, don’t worry! Our bespoke respite care is tailored around you and your needs, no matter how little time you need us. With Helping Hands, you can do just that, and we endeavour to have a qualified carer over to Romsey within 24 hours in the case of an emergency.

Respite care services tailored to you
Perhaps you’ve been unfortunate enough to have an accident or have just been discharged from hospital. You might just need an extra hand to help you get back on your feet. Our carers have a genuine passion for helping others. They will help you stick to the routines you enjoy and your normal level of independence. They will even help walk your many dogs if their collars are starting to get a little tight. Our nurse-led care trains our carers to deal with the more medically complex care needs you may have, like ventilation care, nephrostomy care, and medication administration. With our carers, you’ll be in safe hands – literally!

Qualified respite carers in Romsey
Not only are our carers handpicked for their compassion, work ethic and wealth of experience, but they are also specially trained in handling specific conditions. This can range from dementia, stroke, and cancer to palliative and emergency care. Our superb training makes our home care in Romsey team the top dogs in care. Our carers are also great people with friendly, compassionate natures. This way, you won’t only gain a carer in your home, but a companion too. We hope you’ll soon have a new friend to explore Romsey’s Broadlands estate with!

Respite care is short-term support that gives a regular carer a break while your loved one keeps receiving trusted care at home in Romsey. It can be visiting care or short-term live-in care, from a few days to a few weeks.
Families in Romsey 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. Romsey 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 Romsey.
Yes, our Romsey care is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and delivered by trained, DBS-checked carers.
