What is respite care?

Respite care is temporary care to provide relief for a primary CareGiver. Often this is a family member caring for a loved one. You may need someone to cover a permanent CareGiver’s time off, or alternatively, respite homecare may simply provide extra assistance as and when you and your family need it. 

Our respite care services in Hertford can be planned as a one-off or regular weekly visits, to provide peace of mind that your loved one is in safe hands. 

Contact EECJ Home Care to discuss the type of respite care you and your family may need.

How can EECJ Home Care help with respite care?

At EECJ Home Care, we offer a range of flexible services for respite care. We can arrange a one-off visit, or regular visits, to give a family CareGiver a break from their caring responsibilities. Alternatively, we can provide support as and when required. 

You may need respite care for an hour or two each week, or it could be managed live-in care for a number of weeks whilst a family CareGiver goes on holiday. From companionship and meal preparation, to full support for someone with more complex care needs, our team of Carers in Hertford are here to help. 

Regardless of the duration of the package, or the level of care required, our approach is based entirely on our Clients’ usual routines. Our aim is always to make a temporary change in care services as easy for our Clients as possible. We care for our Clients in the same way we would care for a member of our own family, so you can rest assured that your loved one is receiving the highest standard of care.

How respite care works

As with all new Clients, we will come and spend time with them and their family in their home setting. This way we get to know every Client as an individual and can observe their day-to-day routines. 

We will agree with the Client and their family on a specific care plan. This plan will address exactly how our team of CareGivers can help. At EECJ Home Care, our respite care services should mirror our Clients’ usual care and support as closely as possible.

We will then carefully match a suitable CareGiver, who will be introduced before they begin delivering in-home care. 

We also arrange, in advance, what level of communication the Client’s family would like during our time with them. This is to ensure that the family is kept well-informed and reassured. Our respite care services should always allow friends and family to relax in the knowledge that their loved one is in safe hands. 

Why respite care is important

We understand the weight of responsibility associated with providing care. So we also recognise that family Carers may need some time off from their caring responsibilities. 

No vulnerable person should be left alone. Our respite care services in Hertford are vital to support both family CareGivers and those whom they care for.

Our Clients rely on familiar faces and regular care routines. That’s why we believe respite homecare should pick up where regular homecare services leave off, without interruption.
