What is Respite Care?
Respite Care allows an opportunity for family Carers to take a moment for themselves, this might simply involve; taking a day out to go to the hairdressers or go shopping or perhaps to have a longer period away involving a stress-free holiday.
Caring for the ones we love can be rewarding, but also a demanding experience. Occasionally everyone needs and deserves a break with a change of environment to revitalise.
Our Respite Care can provide a temporary break from looking after a family member; knowing and feeling secure in the knowledge that your loved one’s care needs will continue to be provided during your absence.
What We Do
We offer flexible Respite Care, this ranges from; a full-time temporary Live-in Care Assistant to a Care Assistant who can provide a few hours Respite Care a week. This support is specifically tailored for the Client and their families individual requirements.
“Regularly using Home Helpers Care and their flexible Respite Care Service has given me the essential time I feel I needed for myself.
