Although caring for a loved one is your upmost priority, we understand how emotionally and physically demanding it can be. This is where our flexible respite services can help.
LIVE-IN RESPITE CARE
What is live-in respite care?
Live-in respite care gives you the opportunity to take a short break safe in the knowledge that your loved one is cared for. We do everything we can to maintain your established routines and we welcome any advice on how best to keep things calm and comforting while you’re away.
It doesn’t always mean that your loved one stays at home with a carer while you take time away. Sometimes, it means that we take on the jobs so you can spend time relaxing together.
What are the benefits of receiving respite care at home?
In order to show up best for ourselves and our loved ones, everyone needs a break. So, if you’ve been the primary carer for your loved one, respite care can bring plenty of benefits for both of you:
- Allows time to rest – caring for a loved one can be challenging and tiring. Taking the time to rest is great for your physical and mental health, allowing you to better care for your loved one in the future.
- Gives back personal time – your cup must be full before you can fill up others. Buying back personal time gives you the chance to practice self-care and do the hobbies you enjoy.
- Prevents social isolation – when caring full-time, you may not have time for friends and family, which can be incredibly damaging to your mental health.
- New companionship – respite care gives your loved one a fresh break too, allowing them to make a new companion and enjoy their company.

Respite care is a sensible option when your loved one is recovering after an operation or a fall. If they need urgent care while getting back to full strength, it’s much more comforting to recuperate in their own home. You’ve got your favourite food, the bed’s just how you like it and when you’re feeling up to it, we positively encourage as many visitors as you want!
