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 families ask

Can the council help with breaks?

Anyone looking after someone can ask the council for a carer's assessment (an adult carer support plan in Scotland). It can lead to support, sometimes including help with breaks.

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.

How does an introduction work?

Choose up to five people from your shortlist and confirm your email. We send each of them your enquiry, and send you their email and phone number, so you can talk directly.

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.
