Respite care in Coventry and Warwickshire
Take time to rest, recharge or deal with life, knowing your loved one is cared for in their own home by someone you trust.
Looking after yourself is part of looking after them.
What Is Respite Care at Home?
Caring for a parent, partner or relative is a labour of love, but everyone needs a break. Respite care means one of our carers steps in for a while, so you can rest, go away, attend your own appointments or simply have time for yourself.
Unlike a short stay in a care home, in-home respite means your loved one stays where they feel safest: in their own home, with their own routines, belongings and neighbours around them. Nothing has to be packed and nothing changes for them.
Planned or Emergency Respite
Booked ahead for a holiday, a family event, a regular day off or a rest you have been promising yourself. Planning ahead gives us time to match the right carer and arrange introductions.
A Break That Fits Your Life
A few hours
A carer sits with your loved one while you go shopping, see friends or attend an appointment.
These are examples. We will agree what works for you during your free assessment.

How Much Does Respite Care Cost?
