You don’t have to shoulder all the care responsibilities alone. Our Care Professionals can help care for your loved one whilst you have a well-deserved break and are able to keep an appointment, enjoy a holiday or attend a special occasion. It’s important to look after your own well-being too, and with our respite care service you can be confident that your loved one is safe, happy and well cared for at home. The regular demands of caring can lead to feelings of exhaustion, so it’s important to recognise when you need a break. Taking a rest from caring by using a respite service means taking care of your health and wellbeing so you can continue to care.
TGS Home Care respite care provides support for older people and their carers, whether it’s required in an emergency, regular or one-off basis. It’s estimated there are a staggering 6.5 million people in the UK who are caring for loved ones, with 1.4 million of those giving over 50 hours of care per week.
Respite care is a service designed to provide temporary relief to primary caregivers, allowing them to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities while ensuring their loved one receives professional care at home.
Respite care is beneficial for family caregivers who need time off to attend appointments, run errands, or simply take a break. It's also valuable for individuals with elderly family members, those with disabilities, or individuals recovering from illness or surgery.
Our respite care services cover a wide range of needs, including personal care assistance, companionship, medication management, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and assistance with daily activities.
Respite care services can be arranged for short durations, ranging from a few hours to several days or weeks, depending on the caregiver's needs. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate varying requirements.
Respite care provides caregivers with much-needed breaks, helping to prevent burnout and reduce stress. It allows caregivers to attend to their own health and well-being, maintain social connections, and avoid feeling overwhelmed by their caregiving duties.
During a respite care visit, our trained Care Professionals will provide attentive and compassionate support to your loved one. They'll assist with personal care, engage in meaningful activities, ensure medication adherence, and provide companionship, all while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment at home.
