Supporting caregivers with trusted, short-term care for your loved one

At Gifted Hands Home Care, we understand that caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and exhausting. Whether you’re a family member, friend, or full-time carer, taking a break is essential for your own health and wellbeing. Our Respite Care service offers temporary, high-quality care — giving you peace of mind while you rest, recharge, or attend to other responsibilities.

 

What Is Respite Care?

Respite Care is short-term care provided to individuals when their usual carer needs time off. It can be scheduled regularly, used during holidays, or arranged at short notice during emergencies or hospital stays.

Whether for a few hours, overnight, or several days, our trained carers can step in to ensure your loved one receives safe, compassionate, and personalised support in the comfort of their own home.

 

How We Can Support You

Gifted Hands provides flexible respite care tailored to your needs, including:

  • Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
  • Medication management
  • Meal preparation and feeding assistance
  • Companionship and emotional support
  • Mobility and transfers
  • Support with routines and activities
  • Overnight or live-in care, where needed

We follow the established care plan closely to maintain consistency and ensure your loved one’s comfort and safety while you take a well-deserved break.

 

Benefits of Respite Care

Our respite care service offers important benefits for both caregivers and those receiving care:

For Family or Primary Carers:

  • Time to rest and prevent burnout
  • Opportunity to attend appointments, work, or travel
  • Peace of mind knowing your loved one is in safe hands
  • Reduced stress and improved mental wellbeing

For the Person Being Cared For:

  • Continuity of care in familiar surroundings
  • A chance to engage with a new companion
  • Stimulation and emotional support
  • Confidence in knowing their needs are still being met
