About respite care

What it usually involves

Someone stepping in so the family carer can rest, get to an appointment, see friends or go away. It can be a few hours a week, a regular day, or a longer block of time.

How a self-employed carer can help

Reliable cover at agreed times, from someone your loved one gets to know. For longer breaks, a carer who also does overnight or live-in care may be able to cover.

Questions worth asking

Can you cover the same time every week?
Would you stay overnight if needed?
What would you like from me before I go out: the routine, contacts, medication notes?
Are you happy to be around pets?

Questions families ask

How much notice does a respite carer need?

Agree it at the start. A regular slot is set once; for a holiday, ask a few weeks ahead.

Should the carer meet Mum before I go away?

Ideally, yes, a few times while you're there, so she knows them and they can learn her routine.

What does self-declared mean?

The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
