Respite Care in Truro

Respite care is ideal for those times when you find yourself needing expert support on a temporary basis. It might be that your regular carer is taking a well-earned break and you need to arrange short-term cover, or perhaps you’re normally looked after by a family member but you’d both benefit from a bit of a change of scene. Whatever your reasons for needing respite care, our Truro team are typically able to provide you with a carer in your home within 24 hours of your initial phone call.

When it comes to respite care, we take every measure to ensure your support is as similar as possible to what you’re used to. We appreciate that you’ll like things to be done in a certain way around your home, and that your care needs will be specific to you, which is why your local care manager in Truro will take the time to undertake a full assessment of your support requirements and preferences. We take the same person-centred approach across all of our care services, because we know that every care journey is completely unique to the individual.

When you partner with us for home care in Truro, you can have full confidence that your carers will always be of the very highest standard. We only hire people who are naturally kind and empathetic and who are passionate about helping others, as we believe these are by far the most important traits to look for in a carer. When they join, every Helping Hands carer is enrolled on our comprehensive carer training programme, where they’ll spend four days focusing on modules such as moving and handling, dementia care, medication support and so much more. They’ll then continue to participate in regular refresher courses, so that their knowledge and skillset are constantly updated. And, for your full peace of mind, every step of your respite care will be independently regulated and monitored by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, so you know we’re committed to the same high standards of care day in, day out.

You can arrange home care in Truro by contacting our team – they’re available to talk to seven days a week, and will always be happy to talk you through your care options. Alternatively, you can contact us via our website if you’d prefer for us to call you back at your convenience.
