Short Break Service
Whether you need cover for a two-week holiday, a short break, or in response to an urgent situation like illness or a family emergency, our team is here to provide the one-on-one care and support you need, when you need it most.
With over 30 years of experience and a team of highly trained professionals committed to delivering the highest standard of care, we ensure that your loved one is well-supported even in your absence. As a service regulated by the Care Inspectorate, you can take your break with peace of mind, knowing your loved one is safe and receiving the care they require.
Respite care is a temporary solution provided by our expert carers, covering various care needs, including assisted living and dementia care. It’s also ideal for elderly individuals or those who need additional support following surgery or illness, or simply while their regular carer takes a much-needed break from their demanding role.
Caring for someone can be both physically and mentally exhausting, involving much more than just the daily tasks. The emotional demands, particularly over long periods, can be overwhelming. Respite care is designed to offer your main carer a break, while still ensuring that your care needs are fully met.
Our respite care
We offer respite care in three main forms:
Live-in care
A carer resides in your home, providing continuous support and companionship both day and night.
Visiting care
If you need extra support for just a few hours each day or week, this option ensures you get the assistance you need without full-time care.
Calico House Respite Service
Calico House is a new short and long stay respite care service, set up to provide short respite holidays to caregivers and disabled individuals.
Sometimes, life’s unexpected events require you to arrange short-term care, whether due to a family emergency or other commitments. Respite care guarantees that the person you care for always has someone there to assist them, ensuring their well-being even when you’re not available.
