What is Respite Care?
We all need a break sometimes. A change of scenery can benefit us all. For both care givers and receivers, respite can provide a healthy, temporary change to your schedule. Whether you need somebody to step in for a few hours or a few days, with Abacus Care & Support you can have confidence that the high level of support you expect for yourself or your loved one will be met. We work with trained and compassionate care givers to ensure that the personal, medical, domestic, and social care your situation needs is maintained to the highest standard when you receive respite care at home.
How will Respite Care at Home benefit me and the person I care for?
Having at home Respite Care can be hugely beneficial for everyone involved. It’s not uncommon for care-givers to feel guilt or unease about taking a break, but allowing a trained professional to step in could be exactly what you need to feel refreshed and reinvigorated: able to give your loved one the support they deserve. Respite care adds someone with a breadth of care experience to your support system – someone who understands what you’re going through and can introduce you to innovative methods, ideas or equipment that will better help you to help the one you care for.
Most importantly, Respite Care at home also benefits the person receiving care. Inviting a new person into your care situation can positively impact the mental and emotional wellbeing of an individual whose condition or situation lends itself to feelings of isolation, providing a new and fresh source of companionship. Temporary respite can also be a helpful way for an individual to deal with the transition into a more permanent change in care or living situation.
We understand that considering respite care at home may feel like a big step. Big steps are usually better taken together. Get in touch with our team to discuss how we can help you on your care journey.
