Respite care to help you be a better carer Interim live-in care, so you can take a break and recharge your batteries
The demands of caring for a loved one can be physically and mentally exhausting. To maintain the constantly high standards of care you want to provide, it is essential to factor respite care into your busy schedule so you can take a break to recharge your batteries.
Quality of Life Homecare’s service allows carers to relax in the knowledge that their loved one is receiving the highest level of care and support. The duration of the respite care can be as long as you want it to be. So you have all the time you need to enjoy your well-earned break.
Meeting the needs of you and your loved one
Rather than taking the person you care for away from their familiar surroundings and placing them in a care home while you are away, you can maintain a seamless continuity of care by handing over to one of our experienced live-in carers while you are away. Simply brief us on the requirements of the care regime and leave the rest to us. We’ll take care of everything, fitting in with the needs of you and your loved one with pleasure and professionalism.
If you wish, our care worker can work alongside you for a day or so to smooth the transition. This will allow them to familiarise themselves with the home, the care required and, of course, the person they will be caring for.
Respite care cannot always be arranged well in advance, of course. At Quality of Life Homecare we understand that there are times when you will need us at very short notice, if you become ill or if need to leave your home to go elsewhere, for example. In such cases, we can intervene at a moment’s notice, providing the care that is needed until you are able to resume the role yourself.
