Respite Care
for Family Carers
Rest and Relief is Here
Caring for your parent, sibling, spouse or loved one is no small feat. You know this, and so do we. You've sacrificed to serve in your role as caregiver for the one you love, and that's why you deserve time to rest and revive your spirits. Respite care from a home care provider like Right at Home offers that relief, allowing you to grab a coffee or catch a movie with a friend, or even take a much-needed nap. All the while, you can rest assured that your loved one is being cared for in the best of hands of qualified caregivers, allowing your mind, body and soul an essential holiday – even if it's only a few hours each week.
Benefits of Respite Care
Caring for a loved one around the clock can significantly strain a caregiver's physical and mental health, often leading to poor eating habits, insufficient sleep, and general unwellness. This is why care strategies sometimes need to focus on the caregiver's well-being as well: a healthy caregiver helps ensure the patient remains healthy, too. Respite care offers necessary relief, providing downtime and an escape from constant demands, which prevents the buildup of resentment. Ultimately, utilising respite care improves the overall health and happiness of both you and your loved one, allowing you to return to your role feeling revived and refocused.
How Respite Care Works with Right at Home
Depending on your needs, as well as those of your loved one, a respite care worker will come to your home for a few hours. These visits could be once a week, or three times a week. While the respite care worker tends to your loved one, you're free to getaway. You can use these hours to meet friends for lunch, attend a hair appointment, or even read a book in the backyard. The point is, this is your time to rest and recover. We deliver respite care under government funded Support at Home or private arrangements.
