These are some of the main reasons you might feel that respite care is required

Relaxation

By using our respite care services, your family member can get some much-needed relaxation away from their care duties, that may include taking a leisurely walk, going to the gym or even visiting a spa. This is important as it helps them to get a break, and it can improve their mood, and reduce heart rate.

Increase Energy Levels

Taking care of someone can be challenging, particularly if they are dealing with complex needs. With some respite care, your loved one will be able to relax and this can increase their energy levels, so they are there to support you when you need it.

Enhance Relationship

Everyone needs a break, no matter how much you love someone, you can’t be with them all the time. It is particularly challenging when complex needs are involved and the person being cared for often feels that they are being a burden on their family member. With our respite care services, you can enhance your relationship with the person providing care services.

Sense of Self

It can be easy to lose sight of yourself, especially when you are providing care around the clock to someone. With the respite care, it can give the caregiver a sense of purpose, and prevent them from losing who they are. This is important for anyone providing a care service to a loved one.

Social Break

Caregivers often feel that they don’t get time to socialise, and this is important for anyone. With respite care, the caregivers have the time to visit friends and family and enjoy any other social activities.

Case study respite Homecare

Adam suffers from motor neurone disease and his aunt provides 24/7 care for him. His aunt, Linda, is keen to get a break and called us to discuss potential respite care at home.

We visited their home and discussed the options, including what level of respite care they needed, and what their expectations/goals were. We then assigned them with a carer who shared similar interests to Adam and since then, they have used us frequently, when Linda needs a break. We have kept the same carer for Adam, since they had built a good relationship.
