Respite Live-In Care
Short-term care solutions to give you the break you deserve.
Looking for Respite
Live-In Care?
When caring for a struggling loved one is left entirely on your plate, it can take a large toll on you and your family. On top of work and personal commitments, ensuring that you provide those you care about with the care they need can become stressful and exhausting. Many aren’t looking to shift into permanent care solutions, but simply taking a break could make a world of difference in allowing you to relax and recharge.
Respite live-in care is a short-term solution that solves the problems at hand. If you’re looking to bring in a live-in care companion for a short amount of time, to give everyone involved a rest from the routine of daily life and care, then Guardian Live-In Care can offer you just that. As with a permanent carer, the live-in care companion brought into the home will be fully qualified and trained to handle a wide variety of conditions, so you can rest assured that you’re loved one is in the best hands possible.
How Respite Live-In
Care Works
Respite live-in care offers everything that our regular live-in care services do, just within a shorter time frame. A care companion within the home will offer constant care and support, able to administer medications, help relieve pain, provide mobility support and aid with personal care such as bathing and using the bathroom.
On top of that, they are able to help keep the household running, stepping in to plan and cook meals, clean, care for pets, and complete other chores as needed. This break from your duties as a care companion can last however long you need it to, and your live-in care companion will remain with your loved one until the respite period is over.
All our services depend entirely on the unique needs of the individual we work with. Whatever domestic or health related support a person needs, their care companion will adjust the care plan to suit them best. We are able to ensure that life for your loved one is as similar to when you’re the one caring for them as possible, making the transition in and out of respite as seamless as possible.
Benefits of Respite Live-In Care
Not sure what live-in care could offer your family? After taking care of your loved one for so long, it may be hard to be sure that bringing in a live-in care companion is a good idea. Here are just a couple of the benefits that a respite live-in care companion could offer your family:
Rejuvenation
Providing constant care can be tiring, especially when you’ve got a multitude of other personal commitments and worries going on. Stepping away for a break to recharge and rest up ensures that you will be coming back in a better headspace to care for your loved one again when the time is right.
A Carefully Matched Care Companion
Working with Guardian Live-In Care means that your loved one isn’t going to be rotating through a large team in a residential home. Instead, they will be matched to a care companion who can best fulfil all the care services you typically provide yourself, allowing for full flexibility and ensuring that things can remain as familiar as possible for your loved one.
Tailored Care
Everybody has their routine and habits, and sticking to this can be comforting. Staying in a care home, even for a short period of time, completely uproots these. With live-in care, services can look however you and your family need them to. Care companions can provide a customised support that you can’t find in other respite providers.
