Providing care for someone you love can be stressful to you and your relationship with them. So it’s quite common to need a break.
It’s important you take time for yourself, too.
The idea of leaving your loved one whilst you take a short break can be daunting.
During this time you may consider hiring a short-term, part-time or live-in carer to care for loved one whilst you are away.
Respite Care is designed to provide a break from providing support & care.
What Does Respite Care Involve?
Respite Care makes sure your loved one still receives care & support whilst you’re away. This can be less disruptive than putting your loved one into temporary residential care.
Standards Care respite carers understand that letting someone into your home can be a tough decision & an intimate one.
Respite Care can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on your particular needs. Of course, respite care isn’t only available for when you need a break – it can be provided in an emergency situation if you become ill or have to go into hospital at short notice.
Respite Care can also be invaluable if you and your loved one want to try out home care for a short period to see whether it works for you.
