Respite Care

Home > Respite Care

A Bespoke And Tailored Service

There are currently 5.4 million unpaid care workers in this country that either support friends or family through illness or older life. In spite of doing this for Love and dedication of the person, this can really take its toll on the individuals own health and other family relationships.

This is one reason we provide respite services. This allows us to take some of the pressure of you and gives you some time for yourself whilst you also have that peace of mind that the friend or family member is getting an excellent service.

Here For You

Respite Care is available for any period of time, from an hour or two or for longer periods of a week or more.

If you require a couple of weeks to recharge your batteries or wish to consider a number of respite care support services so that you and your family can have some quality time together the Lotus Home Care respite care service allows you to have the confidence that the individual you care for is safely looked after and cared for in the comfort of their own home.

Do you accommodate overnight calls?
At Lotus Home Care we strive to provide a service that suits all individuals. Delivering a good care service is not always just during the day, this includes providing a high-quality service during night time hours as well.
We provide waking nights, where a carer will be alert to any care duties and available for the full night-time period to assist with care. We also provide sleeping nights; this is a great service if yourself or family member needs support during the night but only occasionally.
This also gives individuals the reassurance that there is someone else there for them if needed, it also gives relatives that peace of mind.
- Overnight care is when a carer stays in your home overnight to attend to your normal activities of daily living.
- Care needs don’t stop at the end of the working day and fortunately for many who need help, neither does caregiving.
- Having access to trained staff through the night is essential for many complex medical conditions or when an individual is recuperating from an illness.
- For families, knowing that a loved one has to spend the night alone can be a concern.
- If a situation occurs during in the small hours, and no-one is present to act quickly, it could easily lead to an emergency situation.
- Loved ones may not always have a personal care alarm to send an alert for assistance, but with professional support present, such fears are put to bed.
- The primary benefit of overnight care is that individuals who may be anxious or lonely are able to rest well and get a good night’s sleep.
