It’s a fancy name for a short-term relief for caregivers..

Taking care of a loved in need of support because they are ageing or ill can be enormously rewarding and at the same time because we are all human it could be exhausting and emotionally draining. Because of the unconditional love we have for those close to our heart, Caregivers often feel they can soldier on but in the long-term this often results in depression and health problems. Short breaks help you make it through the long haul. This is where Daily Living Care steps in to support you and your loved ones

What is respite care?

Respite care is temporary care to provide relief for a primary caregiver. This may be arranged to cover a permanent caregivers time off or respite care may simply provide extra support as and when you need it. Respite care can be planned as one-off or regular visits, to provide peace of mind.

How can Daily living Care help with respite care? 

We could arrange a one-off visit or regular visits to give a caregivers a break from their caring responsibilities. Alternatively, we can provide support as and when it is needed. It could be just for an hour or two, or it could be managed live-in care for a number of weeks. You may simply need companionship and security checks, or full support for someone with more complex care needs. 

Regardless of the duration of the package or the level of care needed, our approach is based entirely on that person’s usual routines. Our aim is always to maintain and improve the care and routines in the care for our service user without causing disruption to their independence, choice and control over their lives as much as possible.

How respite care works

As with all new service users, we will come and spend time with them and their family in their home setting. This way we get to know every service users as an individual and can observe and learn their day-to-day routines. 

We will agree with the service users and their family on a specific care plan. This plan will address exactly how they would like their support delivered, based as much as possible on what normally happens. Our respite services should mirror our service user’s usual care and support as much as possible.

We will then carefully match a suitable caregiver. Before our respite care services begin, we’ll arrange for our team member to be introduced and approved before they begin delivering care. 

We also arrange, in advance, what level of communication the service user’s family would like during our time with them. This is to ensure that they are kept well-informed and reassured. Our respite care services should always allow friends and family to relax in the knowledge that their loved one is in safe hands.

Why respite care is important

We understand the weight of responsibility associated with providing care. Therefore, we also recognise that family carers may need some time off from their duties. Respite care services are vital to support both caregivers and those whom they care for.

Our service users rely on familiar faces and regular care routines. That’s why we believe our respite care should pick up where regular homecare services leave off, without interruption.
