When to choose respite care

Respite care is an ideal care option for those times when you find yourself needing additional support on a short-term basis. Perhaps your normal carer has let you down or is taking a well-earned break and you’re looking for someone to cover for them for a couple of weeks, or maybe you’re undergoing surgery and would benefit from some temporary support at home to aid your recovery. Our wonderful carers in Kent are able to help people with a wide variety of needs – whether you just need a bit of friendly companionship or a full-time live-in carer.

Respite care services tailored to you

At Helping Hands, we know that your care journey is completely unique to you, which is why our wonderful respite carers providing home care in Kent will always provide you with a care plan that is fully tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Your local care manager will visit you or your loved one at home and take the time to fully understand your care needs, as well as the way you like things to be done, so that your transition to respite care can be as smooth and seamless as possible. And, should your circumstances change, we can make appropriate amendments to your support so that you’re still getting the help you require at all times.
