Respite care

Who cares for the carer?

​Our Answer! Respite Care
 

Peace of mind - Often a child may wish to take a holiday and want an elderly parent to be dropped in on once a day while they're away to check they're ok and have a cup of tea.

​

  • Family relief - Families with disabled children that need a break from caring to prevent burnout.

  • Professional carer relief - Providing holiday cover for the usual professional carer that is taking a holiday.

  • Medical aftercare - If you or your loved one has recently left hospital then a period of aftercare to help get back on your feet as quickly as possible may be required.

In other words, Respite care is a form of temporary care that can be provided at a residential facility or at home in order to relieve the usual carer. Caremax 24/7 specialise in at-home respite care and make it as easy as possible to hire one of our  professional carers at an affordable price.

There is a lot in common between residential respite care and care home respite care. Different benefits can be found under each option

Residential Respite Care

 

Residential respite care is provided by many organisations and charities. Residential care can be a good option if the person you are caring for has intensive needs or if you usually care for them in the same house and need some additional space. The benefits to residential respite care are that it provides space in the house for families that need a break. A residential care facility may also be able to provide intensive 24-hour care at a more affordable rate. We can provide contact with our client care homes who have this provision.

Home Respite Care

​

Respite care at home is when one of our  professional carers will come into the individuals home to provide one-to-one care on a temporary basis. Respite care can be organised to work around your own time schedules over the short, medium or longer term .The benefits to home respite care are that the individual can be cared for in familiar surroundings with minimal disruption to their independence.
