Live In Respite Care
Do you need a break? Take one with the reassurance and peace of mind, knowing your loved one is cared for and enjoying life.
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is short-term care used as an alternative to a person’s usual arrangements or when the unexpected happens.
There are several reasons you might be considering needing some respite care.
- Going away and worried about your loved one in your absence? We’re here to step in and help.
- Are you primarily responsible for caring for your loved one and need a break? Take one with reassurance and peace of mind, knowing your loved one is cared for and enjoying life too.
- Need short term care when things change unexpectedly or you’re recovering from an operation or injury, we’re here for as long as you need us until you regain your independence.
Sometimes if a family member is providing the care and support needed, they may need a break to recharge their batteries. Caring for a loved one is a huge responsibility and the dedication of being a primary carer can take its toll at times and tiredness can creep in. They may find themselves unwell or have to undergo a planned operation. This can all be a little overwhelming at times and there is an uncertainty of what the best thing to do is.
Live in Care are here to help and be the safety net you can call upon.
You can step back and trust our short-term live-in care service.
Respite care can be planned in advance when you need temporary relief, or we are here to help in an emergency.
The respite care we provide is cost-effective, enables independence, and is organised on the person’s terms with the one-on-one support they need to remain independent at home.
Live in Care will be there for any future respite care needs
After providing respite care once, Live in Care will be there for any future needs, with a full care plan already in place that only has to be reviewed to include any changes. Many family carers see this positively and have commented that knowing we are always there in the background, ready to step in, alleviates so much worry and eases the responsibility.
The service is professional, efficient, friendly, and respectful. Nothing appears too much trouble. They made a prompt and accurate assessment of my mother’s needs and quickly identified a fantastic carer. When they had concerns about my mother’s health the service manager made a personal visit to check that everything was being done that needed to be done.
Making me feel so special on my birthday is only one of the reasons that Live in Care is the best company to work for. I hope I get to spend many more birthdays with you.
When we chose Live in Care for Dad it was because the Care Manager made all the difference professionally from other companies we’d considered, she gave amazing guidance and advice not only around care but quality of life, social interaction and possible funding.
Dad was quite tearful today when Corina left, she has been a wonderful carer and such lovely company for him. Dad said she felt more like family rather than a stranger within a few hours of meeting her. A real sweetheart
We tried other companies first but there were so many changes, and it all became too much for Mum, not knowing who would be there to help her. Since we chose Live in Care, she’s been so much happier.
