Respite that gives carers a real break
Caring for someone you love is a privilege and it is also exhausting. Respite care gives you time to rest, work, see a doctor or simply have an afternoon to yourself, while a trained carer steps in at home and keeps your loved one's routine exactly as it is.
Who this is for
- Family members caring for an older parent, partner or relative
- Carers who need regular, planned time off each week
- Carers facing a short-notice need such as illness, travel or an emergency
- Families who want to test home care before committing to more
What is included
- Planned, regular respite blocks
- Short-notice and emergency respite where capacity allows
- Personal care, meals and medication prompts during respite
- Companionship and activities your loved one enjoys
- Overnight respite by arrangement
- Handover notes so you know exactly how the visit went
- Support to access further respite options
How it works
- 01
We meet you and your loved one together and learn the daily routine in detail.
- 02
We introduce the respite carer before the first block so everyone is comfortable.
- 03
During respite the carer follows the routine, not their own, and records anything you need to know.
- 04
You get a short handover at the end of every visit.
Who delivers it
Respite care is delivered by experienced personal care and community support workers, with nursing input where clinical needs exist.
