Respite care in Stamford

When should I choose respite care, and what can a carer help with?

Respite care is short-term support, usually on a temporary basis. It provides help after a hospital stay or to provide relief for a regular carer. If you receive support from family members then they will need to take holidays from time-to-time, to recharge their batteries. Being a full-time carer can be demanding, so having respite care from Helping Hands will allow you to remain living in the home you love while your regular carer gets some time off.

Why you may need Stamford respite care

You may need Stamford respite care because you’ve had a fall, been in hospital, or because you need temporary additional support. Many people believe that – to receive respite care – they have to leave their own home and move into residential care, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Respite care from Helping Hands is delivered by compassionate carers who understand your situation, and we always take the time to get to know you and your circumstances.

The benefits of respite care at home

Remaining in your own home for respite care is the greatest benefit it allows. This is because being able to stay in familiar and comforting surroundings benefits both your physical and emotional wellbeing. Your happiest memories have likely taken place there, such as planting your garden or raising children, so why not continue living there when you need the greatest amount of help? We’ll support your independence and help you to recover as quickly as possible.
