When to choose respite care

Respite care is perfect for you if your primary caregiver is taking a well-earned break and is perhaps going away. Or maybe they have come down sick and you need someone to step in and take the reins when it comes to your care. Wherever your loved one or carer is, we can be there when you most need us. Or if you have had a brief spell in the hospital and need some support rehabilitating and getting back on your feet. Our respite care can begin from just 30 minutes a week for visiting care and from just seven days for live-in care in Gateshead. This can go up to five weeks and then progress to ongoing care.

Respite care services tailored to you

Our carers are experts at helping with daily tasks such as general housekeeping, grocery shopping, running errands and being an all-around lifeline at home. We can help create a daily routine for you which can include light exercise and help get you out and about in the Gateshead community. We know that hailing from the North is a source of great pride, so we are proud to be able to offer you high-quality support within the county of Tyne and Wear. Our carers care about you and our holistic approach makes sure that not only are your physical needs met, but your emotional and spiritual needs too.

Qualified respite carers in Gateshead

Our carers are trained by registered nurses to provide expert nursing care. They can help with medication administration, catheter and stoma care, amongst other more clinical needs. We can also offer condition-led care which helps with anything from dementia, cancer, strokes and more. Our carers are all DBS-checked and have a wealth of qualifications, training and experience. They all love what they do, and we hope you’ll very much love your Helping Hands carer as they explore the busy streets of Gateshead and Newcastle with you.
