Respite care in Northampton

Respite care is usually temporary cover for a week or two so that your regular carer can take a break, or you can have extra support to see you back on your feet after an illness or surgery. We offer respite care on both a visiting-care basis – where your carers come to you at fixed times of the day and help you with tasks, or live-in care where someone resides in your home around the clock for extra reassurance and companionship.

If you’ve been in hospital and you’re worried how you’ll manage at home after you’re discharged, then respite care for a week or two can help you get back on your feet. Alternatively, if you already have a carer you’ll know how hard they work and how deserving they are of a break, whether that’s a professional carer or a family member. Perhaps you’ve been reluctant to accept respite before because you’re worried about leaving your home, but with respite home care Northampton from Helping Hands, you don’t have to. Your carers will come to you in the home you love, and you’ll soon look forward to their cheerful arrival and the dignified way they carry out your care. What’s more, we always make sure that there’s the minimum of disruption from your regular care service to us, and back again.

All of our bespoke care packages are designed with the customer in mind, so you can be confident that your care will be carried out by dedicated professionals who understand care. No matter which of our services you choose, visiting or live-in, your carer will be able to help with tasks such as personal care, medication, meals, getting you in and out of bed, housework, mobility and accessing the community. Additionally, if emergency care is needed your carer can be with you quickly when time is of the essence, even within 24 hours.
