A Live-in Carer will move in with you or your loved one and be there to provide the support they need. Many of our clients require our services after an injury or accident, when returning home from hospital, or after a diagnosis of a terminal condition. Our Carers are there to care and support but also manage household tasks and provide medication reminders, enabling clients to focus on themselves.

Benefits of Respite Care

Improved wellbeing

Respite Care is beneficial for both the regular caregiver and the person receiving care. It helps to avoid Carer burnout and stress, which means better quality of care. Being a full time Carer is a challenging and demanding role. Regular breaks are important for mental health and wellbeing. That's why we step in to provide peace of mind that you or your loved one will continue to receive quality care.

Maintain independence

Respite Care can enable you or your loved one to remain at home to live life on your own terms. Instead of moving into a care home, you or they can stay at home with the level of support needed. In the same way, Respite Care also helps family caregivers maintain their own independence. Regular Respite Care can allow a caregiver to enjoy free time to boost their mental and physical wellbeing.

Personalised support

Respite Care at Home means you or your loved one receive professional, personalised support in the comfort of home. If you're recovering from surgery after a hospital discharge, Respite Care can ease recovery in a safe and comfortable home environment. All our care services are delivered with bespoke care plans to ensure we meet the unique needs and preferences of you or your loved one.

Familiar surroundings

Familiar faces. Regular routines. Local community. With Respite Care, you or your loved one continues to receive the support needed in the comfort and familiarity of home. This can be especially reassuring after the stress and anxiety of an emergency or diagnosis and is often less disruptive than attending a respite day centre or moving into a respite facility like a care home.

Preserve relationships

Family members can sometimes feel that performing intimate tasks like washing and dressing for loved ones changes the dynamic of long lasting relationships. Respite Care can help maintain relationships as they've always been, with a professional Carer stepping in to perform certain tasks to preserve the dignity of the person receiving care.

Continuity of care

Regular respite provides much needed continuity of care, as well as the chance to meet new people and enjoy new experiences. We'll work closely with your or your loved one's healthcare team and other relevant professionals to ensure consistency and continuity, such as maintaining medication prompts and mealtimes.

Peace of mind

Respite Care provides reassurance that you or your loved one is being cared for in the absence of a primary caregiver. With the necessary permissions, our care monitoring app. lets loved ones track care in real time, whenever and wherever they are, giving them added peace of mind.

Respite Care costs

The cost of Respite Care at Home in Cambridgeshire will vary according to individual care needs. The cost will be determined by the level of support that's needed from our Carers and the length of time they're needed.

Respite Care at Home can be more cost effective compared to a residential care home, especially if help is only needed for a short time.

Our services are competitively priced and provide excellent value for the care we deliver. When you get in touch, we can arrange a free no obligation home visit to discuss your needs in more detail.

Comparing Respite Care options

Visiting Respite Care
This involves receiving assistance from skilled care professionals who visit individuals at home to provide care in their caregiver's absence. This can sometimes be in the event of an emergency but is often used to enable a primary caregiver to have regular time away from their usual caring duties. Our Respite Care can include any of the services you'd expect from other forms of Visiting Care, including, but not limited to, daily hygiene, companionship, medication management, as well as assistance with daily activities and overnight.

Residential Respite Care
With this type of Respite Care, recipients stay in residential care facilities for a short period of time. This could be a nursing home or assisted living facility. Often, this is useful when a primary caregiver takes a longer break than just a few hours - such as going on holiday. However, it can be difficult to find availability in residential facilities that matches the respite period needed. Nevertheless, residential support can be helpful if the person receiving care has more complex medical needs.

Respite Day Care Centre
Respite day care centres offer care and supervision during the daytime, often with a team of trained staff and volunteers supporting several individuals.

At a day centre, individuals will usually have the chance to participate in social activities, enjoy meals at certain times and access practical support while their primary caregivers take a break.

Hospital Respite Care
Sometimes, Respite Care can be provided in a hospital setting to give a regular caregiver a short term break from their caregiving responsibilities.

A respite hospital stay is typically used for individuals with more complex medical needs who require specialist nursing support.
