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

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.

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.

What do you do with my details?

We use them only to make your introductions and send any guides you've agreed to. They're deleted after 12 months without activity, or sooner if you ask.

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.
