When to choose respite care
It’s not always possible to anticipate when you might require care at short notice. Perhaps you’ve been discharged from hospital earlier than anticipated, or your regular carer is taking a break but hasn’t been able to arrange any cover. Whatever your reason for needing additional support, our respite Shrewsbury care team will normally be able to provide you with one of our wonderful carers within 24 hours of your initial phone call, meaning you won’t ever be left feeling isolated or unsupported.

When you opt for respite care from Helping Hands, you’ll get a package of care that is completely personalised to your specific requirements and preferences. Whether you normally do the chores around the home or you have a regular carer who handles the housework, we know that you’ll like things to be done in a certain way. Our care experts will always take the time to understand your needs and wishes and will provide you with a bespoke, holistic care plan that gives you comprehensive support in all the areas you require it most.

FAQs
Respite care provides short-term support at home, either planned in advance or arranged at short notice, when extra help is needed. It can cover recovery after a hospital stay or illness, or step in temporarily while your usual carer or family member takes a break.
It suits people in Shrewsbury who need temporary support after surgery or illness, families whose regular caregiver needs time to rest, and anyone who wants reassurance that a loved one is safe and supported while they take a short break.
Your carer can help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, light household tasks, mobility support and companionship, all built around your usual routine rather than a fixed schedule.
