Caring for an elderly loved one can be incredibly rewarding — but it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. It’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed at times.
Research shows that many family carers worry about how long they can keep going without a break, and most report feeling exhausted. That’s why it’s so important to care for your own wellbeing too.
Whether it’s a weekend away, quality time with friends or family, or simply a few days to catch up on rest — you deserve time to recharge. And we’re here to help you do just that, with complete peace of mind.
We can arrange for an experienced, fully vetted carer to move into your loved one’s home for as little as three days at a time. During this time, your carer will:
Assist with washing, dressing, and personal care
Prepare meals and maintain the home
Offer companionship and emotional support
Support with mobility, routines, and daily tasks
This means you can take a much-needed break knowing your loved one is safe, supported, and in the company of a kind, capable carer.
We understand that letting someone new into your loved one’s life — even temporarily — is a big step. That’s why we take the time to get to know you and your loved one, and arrange care that feels just right.
Start with a friendly chat with one of our care specialists. We’ll learn about your situation and help plan a short-term arrangement that meets everyone’s needs.
We’ll introduce you to a skilled, carefully matched carer who fits your loved one’s personality and care needs.
On their first day, the carer will spend time getting to know your loved one, their preferences, and how they like things done. If you’d like updates while you’re away, we’ll arrange these in a way that works best for you.
Whether you need a short break, a few days of cover, or extra help after a hospital stay, we’re here to make the process smooth, reassuring, and tailored to your needs.
If you’d like to talk to us about arranging short-term care, just get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
