Respite Care

Are you a family carer in need of a break, or do you need short-term support to recover from a hospital stay? Promedica24 offers flexible respite care solutions to support you and your loved ones. Our professional carers provide short-term relief, allowing you to recharge while ensuring your family member receives the highest quality care, or supporting you in your recovery from the comfort of your own home.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term care solution designed to give primary carers a much-needed break from their caregiving responsibilities. At Promedica24, we offer both live-in and hourly respite care options, tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences.

Respite care can include:

Home From Hospital

Help to support the transition from hospital or care home back into your home.

Respite Care

To give a family member or other full-time carer a break.

Holiday Care

To provide support for a relative while the family take a much-needed holiday.

Live-in Respite Care

Our live-in respite care service provides round-the-clock support from a fully trained carer who resides in your loved one’s home. This option ensures continuity of care and familiar routines, minimising disruption to your family member’s daily life.

Hourly Respite Care

For those who need support for shorter periods, our hourly respite care offers flexible, professional assistance at scheduled times. This option is ideal for primary carers who need regular breaks or support with specific tasks.
