Respite care
A trained caregiver steps in so family caregivers can rest, work, travel or simply have an afternoon off.
Caring for someone you love is hard work, and nobody can do it without breaks. Respite care covers you for a few hours, a weekend or a few weeks, with the same standard of care.
What's included
- Visits from a few hours to several days
- Weekend and holiday coverage
- Overnight respite so you can sleep
- Everything your loved one usually needs, from meals to personal care
- A written handover so care stays consistent
Who it helps
- Spouses and adult children who are the main caregiver
- Family vacations, work trips and medical appointments of your own
- Caregivers who are starting to feel worn out
Often combined with
