Respite Care

Respite care, is a type of care arrangement designed to give rest or relief to unpaid carers, who are often family caregivers. It aims to support these unpaid carers and give them a break from their caring responsibilities.

Everyone needs a break from time to time and unpaid carers or family members are no different.  It is important that they can have a rest, whether it is a short break to run errands or meet friends, or longer time spent away.  Breaks are good for an unpaid carer's physical and mental well being and most importantly can enhance the relationship with the person they care for.  Respite has also been shown to help sustain family relationships.

How we can help?

One of our highly-trained members of staff takes on the care giver’s role whilst the unpaid carer takes a well-earned break. Care can be provided in the individual’s home, and many people prefer this because they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain daily routines.

"People told us staff visited them on time and stayed as long as they should. No-one had experienced any missed visits. The provider followed safe practices when recruiting staff. Staff knew how to protect people from abuse and avoidable harm. The service managed people’s medicines safely and checked people’s equipment regularly to ensure it was safe for them to use."

"People liked the staff who supported them. They told us staff were kind and treated them with respect. Staff respected people's right to privacy and dignity and encouraged people to be independent when it was safe to do so. They respected people's diversity and involved people in decisions about their care. People had access to advocacy services, to ensure they received independent support when they needed it."

"The provider ensured staff received an effective induction and completed the training needed to support people well. Staff supported people to eat and drink enough and ensured they received appropriate support with their healthcare needs. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice."

"Staff and management were clear about their roles and responsibilities and provided care which resulted in good outcomes for people. They worked in partnership with a variety of agencies to ensure people received the support they needed. People, relatives and staff were happy with how the service was being managed. Staff felt well supported by the registered manager and provider."

"People were supported by regular staff who knew them and told us staff provided them with support that reflected their needs and preferences.

No formal complaints had been received by the service."
