Most care in this country is given by family, unpaid and largely unnoticed. It works until the person providing it runs out of road — and that is usually when a crisis placement happens.
Respite care exists to prevent that. We take over for a few hours, a weekend or a fortnight, to the same standard as our regular care, so you can rest, work or go away without worrying.
Respite can be booked as a one-off or as a standing arrangement every week.
For illness, emergencies or appointments you cannot move.
Book what you actually need rather than a fixed package.
So you can get a full night’s sleep, sometimes for the first time in months.
A standing weekly slot is what keeps most family caregivers going.
Respite caregivers work from the same written care plan you already use.
