Respite Care

Caring for a loved one can be mentally and physically draining. In fact, if you don’t take a break occasionally, it may lead to a deterioration in the relationship. Our customers who decide to take some time off tell us that they return to their caring role fresher and with renewed enthusiasm. The time away can often strengthen their relationship with the person they care for.

We can take on the responsibility of care from you for as long as you need, ensuring that the transition for you and your loved one is as seamless as possible.

Our respite services include:

  • Respite at home: We can help you while you provide care, supporting with housekeeping tasks, such as dusting, laundry, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, and cooking. Alternatively, we can look after your loved one and organise an activity with them, or even just a relaxing pampering session, while you and your family have a break or go out.
  • Days out: Enjoy a precious day out with your loved one while we take the pressure off you. Whether you have a family event that you’d like to go to, or if you simply want to get out of the house and do something different, we’ll help your loved one to get ready, arrange transport and ensure all their needs are met during the day.
  • Sitter service and companionship: If you need to go out during the day, or in the evening, we’ll step in to take care of your loved one. Companionship is central to this service, whether your loved one would enjoy sharing a hobby, or a friendly chat while catching up with a favourite TV programme.
  • Emergency respite/rapid response: If you need respite support urgently, we’ll meet your needs in the tightest of timeframes. Simply call our friendly team now on 07539717920.

Holiday respite

It can feel impossible to take a holiday away from the loved one you care for, but we can help you to make it a reality by giving you the peace of mind and practical help you need to be able to make the trip. While you’re away, we’d be very happy to give your loved one a break too, with any of our Support Bundles.

Please contact our experienced staff 01438723209 or 07539717920 for latest information on the regions where we are providing support. You can also email us at info@knightingleshealthcare.com
