What is respite care?
When you’re busy looking after someone with long-term or complex care needs, you need a chance to rest and recharge, whether that means taking some time at home or enjoying a holiday. Respite care means having the proper arrangement of temporary support when you need it most. It can give you or your regular carers time to take a break.
At the Guild, we’re here to provide respite care when it is needed, at home or away from the home. So, whether you require emergency support in a hurry, flexible short-term cover, regular planned respite or respite care for someone being discharged from hospital requiring specialist support, or if you need to go into hospital we can help. Our highly trained team offers bespoke, personalised support, helping individuals retain their independence in familiar surroundings without disrupting their routine or helping them adapt to new surroundings if away from home.
