What is Respite Care?

Respite care offers temporary relief for primary caregivers. It can be arranged to cover a regular care giver’s time off or to provide extra support whenever needed. Respite care can include one-off or regular visits, giving care givers peace of mind and a much-needed break.

How Acorn 2 Oak Care Can Help with Respite Care

We can arrange one-off visits or regular visits to give caregivers a break from their responsibilities. Whether you need support for an hour or two, or live-in care for several weeks, we can provide the assistance required. Our services range from companionship and security checks to full support for those with complex care needs.

Regardless of the duration or level of care needed, our approach is always based on the individual’s usual routines, making the transition to temporary care as seamless as possible.

How Respite Care Works

For new clients, we start by spending time with them and their families in their home setting. This helps us understand their daily routines and personal preferences.

We then agree on a specific care plan with the client and their family, ensuring the support delivered matches their normal routine as closely as possible. We carefully match a suitable Care Giver and arrange an introduction before starting the service.

We also establish the preferred level of communication with the client’s family to keep them well-informed and reassured. Our respite care services allow friends and family to relax, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

Why Respite Care is Important

We understand the significant responsibility of providing care and recognise that family carers need time off. It is crucial that vulnerable individuals are never left unattended, even when their regular care givers are not available.

Our respite care services are essential for supporting both care givers and those they care for.

Clients rely on familiar faces and consistent care routines, which is why our respite homecare seamlessly continues where regular homecare services leave off, ensuring no interruptions in care.
