In-home respite care provides temporary relief by having a trained caregiver come to your home to care for your loved one. This service allows you to take a break and recharge, knowing that the person you care for is receiving professional support in a familiar environment. This can be for numerous care types, including assisted living, residential care, types of dementia care and nursing care.
At Helping Hands, we regularly provide respite care for people in varying circumstances, all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Some of the most common instances where people need respite care are:

Respite care at home allows you to keep living life on your own terms, meaning you can continue doing the activities and routines you enjoy
Whether you’ve had an accident, are recovering from surgery or have been discharged from hospital, we’ll support you in your hour of need
Respite care allows your normal carer to take a well-deserved break, meaning that when they return they’ll be refreshed and re-energised
We know that you might like things to be done in a certain way, so we’ll make sure you continue to get the type of home care you’re used to
