Respite Care and Carer Holidays

Are you looking after a member of your family or a loved one? If so, you may need a break from caring for them. Carer breaks are essential to maintain your health and well-being plus continue you to live your life. After all, if you become ill, who would look after your loved one? It does not matter how dedicated you are to looking after a family member, it is very important to look after yourself.

If you do need respite care, we are here to help. We can arrange hourly care or live-in care with trained qualified professionals. Alternatively it may be that your loved one has been ill and is in hospital. If they are well enough to return home but still need looking after, then again we can help.

Whatever the circumstances, we deliver two types of care:

  • Hourly Care which is a tailor-made package of visits where general every day and personal care tasks can be completed for your loved one depending on the level of help required. This can be from a short visit up to as many hours as is requested. Our Care Packages are all different. Special attention is given to each one so that it is bespoke to your family member. It will be tailored to enable them to be as independent as possible but will also give them all the support and care they need.
  • Live-in Care. This is an important alternative to residential care. Our helpful friendly carers can help your loved one live how they would like to live, amongst familiar surroundings and being as independent as possible. The live-in care supplied would follow a tailor-made care plan to fit in with their existing preferences but would be reviewed frequently and therefore be flexible. As the name suggests, the carer would live in the house with the person they are looking after. Live-in care means peace of mind when you are not there as someone who is caring and responsible will always be there.

As well as looking after your loved one by helping with personal or nursing care and medication, the carer can provide wholesome, healthy meals, household cleaning including laundry, companionship, emotional support and even look after the family pets. We are very flexible! So may we suggest that the holiday brochures are read, a destination chosen and a phone call made to Acquire Care Ltd? Look after yourself, enjoy a well-deserved break and let us look after your loved one.
