Respite Care
You cannot pour from
an empty cup.
Family caregivers are among the most dedicated people we know. They are also among the most at risk of burnout, exhaustion and their own health declining. Respite care is not a luxury. It is a necessity.
Talk to Us About RespiteThe reality of family caregiving
In the UK, over 6.5 million people provide unpaid care for a family member. 72% report that caring has negatively affected their mental health. 55% say their physical health has suffered. Many have given up work, social lives and their own wellbeing. Respite care exists to give something back.
How our respite care works
You set the schedule
Whether you need a few hours each week, cover for a holiday, or regular planned breaks, we work around your schedule. There is no minimum commitment and no maximum.
Same core carers, full continuity
Respite visits are delivered by the same core team of carers your loved one already knows. During holidays or absences, other equally trained carers step in with full access to care plans. Their routine is never disrupted.
Short-notice where possible
Life does not always give notice. We do our best to accommodate short-notice requests, and our bank team means we have flexibility that many providers do not.
We keep you informed
We keep you updated on how your loved one is doing. If we have any concerns about their health, wellbeing or care needs, we will contact you promptly. No news is good news - but we will always tell you if something needs your attention.
