Take a well-deserved break from your care duties
If you’re a primary caregiver for someone with nursing or dementia care needs and looking for a break, our respite services allow you to take some time to care for yourself with the comfort of knowing your loved one is in safe hands.
We understand how important it is that you make time for your own needs so that you can continue in your caring role. Our qualified carers can provide support in your loved one’s home or within one of our care homes, arranged on an individual basis and scheduled around the time frame needed.

Commonly asked questions
- What is respite care?
Respite care allows you to take a break from caregiving, so you can have some time to look after yourself. There are a number of respite options; the person you care for may be looked after within their own home, or a short-stay at a care home so you can go on a holiday.
We offer respite both within our care homes and through our ‘Time for You’ service, which provides respite care in the person’s own home.
- How can respite benefit me?
Respite care gives you an opportunity to take a well-deserved break from your care duties, so you can take some time to look after your needs or go on a trip. Taking a short break can be beneficial for your mental wellbeing, which, in turn, can reduce stress or frustrations between you and the person you care for.
Respite also allows your loved one to interact with new people, or experience a change of scenery if arranging a short-stay in one of our care homes.
