Respite Care ensures that your loved one’s care and support needs are still met in your absence. This can be less disruptive than putting your loved one into temporary residential care as it means routines continue and that your loved one can remain in familiar surroundings with their local support system. Micrah Healthcare’s respite carers understand that allowing someone else to come into your home can be a tough decision and as such they, recognise the importance of planning this temporary care around your needs, with minimal disruption.

Respite Care can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on your particular needs. Of course, respite care isn’t only available for when you need a break – it can be provided in an emergency situation if you become ill or have to go into hospital at short notice. Respite Care can also be invaluable if you and your loved one want to try out home care for a short period to see whether it works for you.

As with our other care services, respite care can provide support for various conditions including Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Strokes, Cancer, and more. We can help you find temporary live-in or part-time respite care. This has the dual benefit of being more affordable than residential care and keeping your loved one in their own home.
