Arbour Care’s Guide to Respite Care at Home

  23rd January, 2024

Caring for a loved one with special needs, whether due to age, illness, or disability, is a rewarding but often demanding responsibility. While you provide unwavering support, it’s essential to remember that taking care of yourself is equally important. That’s where respite care at home, provided by Arbour Care, can make a significant difference.

What Is Respite Care at Home?

Respite care is a service designed to offer temporary relief to family carers. It provides you with the opportunity to take a break, recharge, and attend to your personal needs, knowing that your loved one is in capable and compassionate hands.

At Arbour Care, our respite care at home is tailored to your unique situation. Whether you need a few hours of respite or more extended support, we offer flexible care plans that suit your schedule and requirements.

The Benefits of Respite Care at Home

Reduced Stress: Caring for a loved one can be emotionally and physically taxing. Respite care allows you to take the necessary time for self-care, reducing stress and preventing carer burnout.

Improved Well-Being: Taking regular breaks through respite care helps you maintain your overall well-being. You can attend medical appointments, exercise, or simply enjoy some leisure time without worrying about your loved one’s care.

Enhanced Quality of Care: Our trained and compassionate carers ensure that your loved one receives the same high-quality care you provide. They offer companionship, assistance with daily activities, and personalised attention.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your loved one is safe and well-cared for in your absence provides peace of mind. You can return to your caregiving role feeling refreshed and better equipped to provide support.

How Respite Care Works with Arbour Care

Flexible Scheduling: You choose the schedule that works best for you, whether it’s a few hours a week, a full day, or occasional weekends.

  • "We used Arbour Care to provide care for our parents while we were on holiday. Our parents were originally reluctant to have someone living in their home but eventually agreed that it was the best option. The care they received was so good, the carer cooked delicious meals (I need some recipe ideas!) she was company for Dad and made it possible for us to enjoy our holiday knowing there was someone available if anything was to happen. We would have no hesitation in recommending Arbour Care to anyone looking for care providers."

    JH Cambridge

  • "Arbour provided live-in carers for my wife for six years from 2017-2023 including the pandemic. My main impression is of a very professional organisation in which owners and staff worked all the time to provide the support the client needed at as high a standard as possible. They gave equal attention to statutory requirements, care plans and staff training and never cut any corners."

  • "The support that we have had from Arbour Care has been, quite literally, lifesaving. They found an amazing carer to look after my elderly and disabled husband, who is very experienced, kind and thoughtful. She has made an enormous positive difference to the quality of our lives and I will always be grateful to her and cannot thank her enough."
