Respite Care

Respite Care at Home in Maidstone and Kent

Caring for someone you love is rewarding, and it can be exhausting. Respite care gives you a break, whether for a few hours, a weekend or longer, while your loved one is looked after at home by people they come to trust.

About respite care

Looking after someone around the clock can leave little time for yourself. A planned break is not a luxury. It helps you keep going, and it can make life better for both of you.

We start with a conversation about your loved one, their routine and what they enjoy, so the person who visits already knows how things are done. Respite can be a one-off, a regular weekly pattern or a longer arrangement, and it can lead to ongoing support if you decide that is right.

What our respite care can include

Regular visits so you can rest, work or look after your own health
Cover for a weekend away, a holiday or a planned appointment
Short-term care while a family carer is unwell
Personal care, meals and medication support
Companionship and a familiar daily routine
Overnight cover when it is needed

Who it can help

Family members who care for someone every day
Carers who need cover for a holiday, hospital stay or appointment
People who would rather have short-term support at home than a care home stay
Families trying home care for the first time

Frequently asked questions

How long can respite care last?
From a few hours to a few weeks. We agree the plan with you and adjust it if things change.
Can respite be arranged at short notice?
We will always tell you honestly how soon we can help. Calling as early as possible gives us the best chance of matching the right carers.
Can we try home care before committing?
Yes. Respite is a good way to see whether home care suits your family. You do not need to sign up to a long-term contract.
