Why respite care in Wigan?

Respite care is support for whenever you need to take a break from caring for a loved one, whether it’s to go on holiday or simply to take some time to recharge your own batteries and engage in a little TLC. Our Wigan home care team can be on hand to fill in for you and offer a little respite, without you having to worry about who is looking after your loved on at home. As carers ourselves, we understand that everyone needs a breather now and then and a little self-care. With Helping Hands, you can rest assured that everything is carrying on as it should at home, and that your loved one will be well looked after while you’re away.

Wigan respite support from Helping Hands

There are a few options for respite support in Wigan, but we like to think that Helping Hands offers care services that go above and beyond. It’s important to us that you feel you have one less thing to worry about, so you can rest and relax properly. Our carers can come to your home and offer assistance in whatever way you need, for as long as you need it. We can be there to help with shopping and meal prep for the day, with medications, and even things like watering the plants and making sure the dog gets a walk.

When to choose Wigan respite care

Respite care is there to support you, whatever your needs. You may find that an emergency situation or an urgent work or family matter is demanding all your attention, and you need to step aside for some time. But respite care is not only spur-of-the-moment, but can be planned ahead in advance. For example, you could have a carer visit every few months to give you some time off, without the stress of wondering who will take care of things at home in your absence.

Finally, respite care can also be a godsend for those moments in life where additional support is needed. You may need an extra pair of hands to help with recovery after an operation or accident. Our Wigan home carers are flexible, practical and attentive people who can stand by to make sure that things are taken care of until you’re feeling better. Whether planned or unplanned, our mission at Helping Hands is to make sure you and the people you care for are always safe and comfortable at home, no matter what life throws your way.

Whatever your limitations, we find a way.

When you first contact our customer support team, we’ll work with you to devise a care plan that genuinely makes you life easier.
