Respite Companionship for Family Carers
Reliable cover so a family carer can rest, work or simply have an afternoon back.
Family carers need time of their own. We provide companionship and practical support for a few hours each week, a regular day, or longer planned cover — so someone familiar is there while you are not.
We take time to learn the established routine before cover begins, so the person at home experiences continuity rather than disruption.
Our cover is non-clinical. Where regulated support or health tasks are part of the routine, these continue to be provided by the service already involved.
Who this suits
- Family carers needing planned breaks
- Households balancing caring with work or other commitments
What this does not include
- No personal care such as washing, bathing, dressing or toileting
- No administering or managing of medicines
- No nursing, clinical tasks, treatment or health monitoring
- No support that requires registration with the Care Quality Commission

We will listen first, then build an arrangement around the person — not the other way round.
