Respite care in Bridgwater

Respite care from the Bridgwater team can be for a short period of cover, or longer where necessary. Avoid the upheaval of moving to a residential facility temporarily when you can just as easily receive the care you need in your own home.

We’re considered the home care experts at Helping Hands because we’ve been delivering the highest quality care for more than 30 years, which means you can be totally confident of our consistently high standards.

You may require respite care because you are living with a complex condition, you prefer having the reassurance of continuous care, or your regular carer is looking to go on holiday.

Knowing you will be expertly cared for when they are away will be a source of comfort for your family members, especially if they are your regular carers, and will ensure they get to properly relax for a while.

Our respite carers will make sure every aspect of your daily needs are supported, whether that’s with your medication, mobility, personal care, housework, or so much more.

Your bespoke package of care will be accompanied by a support plan that will detail exactly how you like your daily routine to progress, and with short-term, temporary respite care you have the flexibility to decide if you would like something more permanent afterwards. You may find that you are happy beginning with visiting care but would like to move over to live in care later on, and we have the infrastructure to make sure that can happen.

We can also offer emergency care if the need is unexpected, for instance because of a hospital discharge or recovery from a fall.

Our carers are amazing at what they do – and we can be so sure of that because we only employ compassionate and kind people who identify with our ethos for superior care delivery. Because we’ve been supporting people to live in their own homes since 1989 we truly are experts in delivering home care. This means we can keep our standards consistently high and attract the best people to work for us at all times.

Our care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, and whether they’re joining us for their first care job or have years of experience, we’ll ensure they have all the skills necessary to support you expertly. We encourage continuous development for all of our staff and therefore they have opportunities to increase their knowledge throughout their career with us.
