Caring for a loved one can be both mentally and physically exhausting. Without regular breaks, caregivers risk burnout and strained relationships. Many of our clients who take time off report returning to their caregiving roles feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Taking a step back can often strengthen the bond with the person they care for, fostering a healthier and more positive relationship for both.

At Knigtingles, we understand the critical importance of continuity in care. We can take over your caregiving responsibilities for as long as you need, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition for both you and your loved one, giving you the confidence to take that well-deserved break knowing that your loved one is in capable and compassionate hands.

Our Respite Services include:

Respite at home:

We are here to assist you while you provide care by handling everyday tasks like dusting, laundry, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, and cooking. Alternatively, we can take full responsibility for your loved one’s care, organising engaging activities or a relaxing pampering session for them. This allows you and your family to take a well-deserved break or enjoy time away.

Days Out:

Enjoy a special day out with your loved one while we handle the details. Whether you are attending a family event or simply looking for a change of scenery, we ensure everything is taken care of. From helping your loved one get ready to arranging transportation and meeting all their needs throughout the day, we are here to make the experience stress-free and enjoyable for both of you.

Sitter Service & Companionship

If you need to step out during the day or evening, we will be there to care for your loved one. Companionship is at the heart of this service, whether it is sharing a favorite hobby, enjoying a friendly chat, or watching a beloved TV show together. We will ensure your loved one feels supported and engaged in your absence.

Don’t just take our word for it—explore our testimonials.
The experiences of those we work with speak volumes about the quality and compassion of our care.

Enjoyable work environment

Experienced and Knowledgeable Staff

I generally get to see the same people, which is beneficial because it allows me to build strong relationships and understand their needs better. Consistency is important in care, and seeing the same individuals regularly helps them feel more comfortable and secure, and it allows me to provide more personalised care.

Family member is very safe with the carers

Supported individual

Family member is very safe with the carers, they are all well trained and very pleasant. They always use their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and are very careful.

Staff have good knowledge

Professional

I have supported Knightingles Healthcare in the past with writing and reviewing PRN protocols for their service users. I was impressed at the way staff at Knightingles Healthcare asked for support when it was required, rather than trying to muddle their way through. I met with a staff member from Knightingles Healthcare on Teams and we wrote the PRN protocols together. The staff member had good knowledge of the service user and their preferences. I provided the clinical oversight. More recently, they have contacted me again to review the protocols, which I will be doing with staff in due course.

Work-life Balance

Experienced and Knowledgeable Staff

Staffing levels are regularly reviewed to ensure they are adequate to meet the needs of the individuals we support. I have a manageable workload, which allows me time off to spend with my family.

I am very safe with them

Supported individual

I have 4 visits a day, always 2 staff and I know them well. They are trained, they know what to do and I am very safe with them.

A place to experience growth

Experienced and Knowledgeable Staff

I recently completed my Safeguarding refresher course, which I do on a yearly basis. Moreover, I attended a Safeguarding and Capacity training event in May 2024. I am working towards being the safeguarding champion.

It’s like having family around.

Supported individual

They always go that little bit extra and help me with things they don’t really need to as it’s not really part of their job. It’s like having family around.
