What is respite care?
Respite care is temporary care to provide relief for a primary CareGiver. This may be arranged to cover a permanent CareGiver’s time off. Or, respite homecare 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 09 Care Limited help with respite care?
We could arrange a one-off visit, or regular visits to give a CareGiver 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 make a temporary change in care services as easy for our Clients as possible.
How respite care works
As with all new Clients, we will come and spend time with them and their family in their home setting. This way we get to know every Client as an individual and can observe and learn their day-to-day routines.
We will agree with the Client 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 Clients’ usual care and support as closely as possible.
We will then carefully match a suitable CareGiver. Before our in-home 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 Client’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. So we also recognise that family carers may need some time off from their duties.
Yet, whilst CareGivers are not working, no vulnerable person should be left unattended. Respite care services are vital to support both CareGivers and those whom they care for.
Our Clients rely on familiar faces and regular care routines. That’s why we believe respite homecare should pick up where regular homecare services leave off, without interruption.
