Overview

We offer regular (or for current service users adhoc) respite sits. Respite sits enables everyone to continue with their ‘normal’ daily or weekly activities that are important to them and to you, enabling you and your household to continue living life how you wish. This might mean a loved one can still go to their gym class, hair-dressers appointment or meet up with friends, or that you can have some time out to have some ‘me’ time with out your loved one having to help with support needs.

Respite can be good for everyone involved as sometimes we all need a break from those we love and live with. We can provide a select group of carers to support you and your loved one/s with respite sits which can be anything from a few hours a day to full days/nights for example if your loved one is off to visit family overnight.

Spending time just ‘being’ can lift the normal pressures of everyday life which is two-fold when you or someone your lives with is living with a health condition or disability.

Questions & Answers

This can vary dependent on the hours of care you require, call or contact us to discuss your budget. This is also discussed at an initial assessment visit so you are clear about cost before you commit to any care provision. There are no hidden charges such as set up, exit or retainer fees. The only additional cost would be for Bank Holiday care when an additional hourly rate is incurred as we pay our carers extra for working these days.
We will invoice you weekly, a week in arrears. You can pay via standing order, BACs (bank transfer) or by cheque. Payment terms are 3 days from invoice.
As we are a small, independent care company you will only see a small group of carers. Our carers work in teams overseen by a Team Leader. If you require more than one carer this is called a ‘double up’ call and so therefore you will see a few additional carers. We also provide our new carers with ‘shadowing’ so they get to know the role and our services users whilst being supported by an experienced member of our team before they work alone. We endeavour to provide continuity of care as we know this is valued by service users and staff alike.
Yes we do, we will always ask your preference and support this. All of our carers have enhanced employment checks and are all trained to the same high level with additional training for complex needs or other requirements. We are an inclusive employer and recruit to our ethos and core values.

The care has been nothing short of exceptional, every time I came to visit and met staff there was no doubting the dedication and pride they took in their roles.
