When you need a break from caring, or are looking for short-term care.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a temporary solution involving a carer who is not the usual care provider for your loved one. At Rooted Home Care, we offer respite care services in the comfort of your loved one’s home to provide you, the primary caregiver, an opportunity to take a break and focus on your well-being. This way, you can recharge and better attend to the needs of your loved one.

At Rooted Home Care, we recognise that being able to deliver top-notch care to a loved one goes hand in hand with taking good care of oneself. It’s essential to have downtime to rest and recuperate, as well as peace of mind knowing that your loved one is in trustworthy hands. That’s where our dependable and compassionate care assistants come in, fully trained to offer you the support you need. With our help, you can take that much-needed break without concerns or worries.

How can respite care help me?

By entrusting a reliable care assistant to support your loved one, you can finally enjoy well-deserved moments of personal time to tend to your needs. Whether running errands, stepping out of the house or simply taking a moment to recharge mentally and physically, this additional support can significantly reduce the burden of caregiving and help you prioritise self-care.

And it’s not just you who benefits from these short breaks – your loved one can also benefit from a change of pace and social interaction with new people.

Benefits of respite care

There are numerous benefits, which extend beyond just yourself, but also to your loved ones.

• There are several benefits to reducing stress levels for you and your loved one, which can help maintain a healthy relationship.
• By alleviating frustrations and mitigating any feelings of resentment, you can promote a more positive atmosphere and foster a stronger connection.
• Additionally, freeing up time allows for more opportunities to interact with family and friends or become involved in the wider community. This, in turn, can contribute to a more fulfilling and well-rounded lifestyle.
• Taking on the responsibility of a caregiver can be daunting, and it’s essential to recognise the value of taking breaks. Doing so can create opportunities for personal growth, whether pursuing work or educational opportunities, taking a day off, or even going on holiday.
• Additionally, your loved one may benefit from interacting with other carers and experiencing new stimuli and a refreshing change to their routine. These experiences can ultimately lead to improved health outcomes and a deeper appreciation for life.

Our Respite Care service offers customised flexibility to suit your unique requirements. We believe in your tailoring our services to match your individual needs. Our range of care options includes:

• If you’re planning a holiday, our short-term packages offer the perfect solution for a brief escape from the daily grind.
• On the other hand, if you require ongoing care, our longer-term, regular visits allow you to take a break and recharge as needed, whether it’s a daily or weekly visit.
