Short Term Respite Care

Short-term respite care, tailored to you

If someone you love is recovering from illness, surgery, or simply needs a little extra support for a short period, our Short-term Respite Care Service is here to help. Thoughtfully tailored to your loved one’s specific needs, this service ensures they can rest, recover, and feel safe — all within the familiar comfort of their own home.

Short-Term Respite Care to Suit All Your Needs

Our Short-term Respite Care is designed to offer flexible support — whether it’s for a few days, a few weeks, or several months. It’s ideal for situations where your loved one needs extra help after a hospital stay or operation, or when you, as their regular caregiver, are taking time away for rest or travel.

Whatever the reason, we tailor our Live-in Care around your needs and timeframe. Our goal is simple: to deliver the right care at the right time — so your loved one feels supported, comfortable, and completely at home throughout.

How it works

One of our fully trained Live-in Care Experts will move into your loved one’s home to provide round-the-clock support. Throughout their working day, they can assist with personal care such as bathing, preparing nutritious home-cooked meals, and managing medication. They’re also on hand to help with arranging doctors’ appointments, coordinating social outings, or simply offering kind, friendly companionship.

Ultimately, the care your loved one receives is entirely shaped around their lifestyle and preferences. Just let us know what’s needed, and we’ll create a personalised care plan to match — ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace of mind every step of the way.

What it means

Our Short-term Respite Care allows your loved one to remain in the place they feel most at ease — their own home. Surrounded by familiar comforts, routines, and treasured belongings, they can continue living life their way. And you can enjoy real peace of mind, knowing they’re safe, supported, and in the hands of someone who truly cares.
