Respite Care
Caring for a loved one is a role that demands a lot of commitment and selflessness, which can take up a lot of emotional and physical energy. It is understandable that at times you will need a break in order to rest and recuperate. In fact, it is important that you take time for yourself to enable you to continue to provide care and support to your loved one
However, the prospect of leaving your loved one whilst you take a short break from your caring role or go on holiday can be a daunting one as you want to ensure that your loved one is still well cared for. During this time you may consider hiring a short-term, part-time, or live-in carer to care for your loved one whilst you are away.
What Does Respite Care Involve?
Respite Care ensures that your loved one’s care and support needs are still met in your absence. This can be less disruptive than putting your loved one into temporary residential care as it means routines continue and that your loved one can remain in familiar surroundings with their local support systems. Saffron Care Group service do have an understanding that allowing someone else to come into your home can be a tough decision and as such we recognise the importance of planning this temporary care around your needs, with minimal disruption.
Respite Care can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on your particular needs. Of course, respite care isn’t only available for when you need a break – it can be provided in an emergency situation if you become ill or have to go into hospital at short notice. Respite Care can also be invaluable if you and your loved one want to try out home care for a short period to see whether it works for you.
We can provide temporary live-in or part-time respite care. This has the dual benefit of being more affordable than residential care and keeping your loved one in their own home.
