Respite support can be utilised for a number of reasons; perhaps you have an existing careworker who needs a well-earned break, or your family want to take a holiday. Whatever the reasons you need us, Helping Hands’ dedicated team will provide exceptional home care in Monmouth and the surrounding areas, meaning that you and your loved ones can relax and be confident that you’ll still be able to follow your daily routine.
As well as needing someone to cover for an existing careworker’s break, you may need respite care because of an illness or accident that saw you temporarily incapacitated. You might even have been in hospital for a while and would appreciate some extra support at home until you’re fully back on your feet. Traditionally, people would have to go elsewhere for respite support, such as into a nursing home, however more and more people now realise the benefits of remaining in their own home while they recover.
When we design you a package of care it takes all of your needs into account – from how you like your coffee to what time you take your medication. Whatever you enjoy doing in life is important, both for your physical and emotional wellbeing, and our amazing care team will support you to do what you always have done, for as long as you need us. Respite care can be for days, weeks, or months, depending on your personal circumstances or rate of recovery, but you can be sure we’ll work tirelessly to support you, however long it’s for.
Thanks to our expertise in providing respite care over the last three decades, we are the best placed to support you across Monmouth and the surrounding area. We choose the best careworkers from our area to support you, typically only employing a small percentage of the people who apply to us. That’s because we’re very particular about the qualities someone needs before they can work for us, such as natural compassion and kindness, which we feel are more important than years of experience. After all, we can train someone in a particular skill they’ll need but we can’t teach someone to care from the heart. In addition to our excellent standards of care and support, we carefully check the backgrounds of our care staff so that you can be confident only suitable people are entering your home. Our visiting and live-in respite care services are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, meaning you’ll always be in the very best hands.
