Our services
Respite Care
We temporarily take on care duties for those who need to rest. It’s important to take a break when you need one.
1.
What is respite care?
Also known as a sitting service, respite care gives family members and primary carers a temporary break from their caring duties. Offering short-term care — from a few hours or a few days to a few weeks or more — we give you the chance to rest, recharge and keep burnout and exhaustion at bay.
Meanwhile, your loved one keeps receiving the same level and standard of care, right where they feel most familiar and comfortable, bringing everyone peace of mind.
2.
How does it work?
Caring for someone is deeply rewarding, but we know it can sometimes be hard. We step in to take on your care duties for a while so you can have some time for yourself — and we make sure your loved one’s care isn’t disrupted, so they continue to receive the standard of care they deserve.
Whether it’s an emergency, catching up on other responsibilities, or simply time for your own emotional health and wellbeing, we’re here to ease your worries while your loved one is in safe hands.
