HIGH QUALITY RESPITE
CARE AT HOME
A SHORT BREAK IS SOMETIMES ALL IT TAKES TO GET BACK ON TRACK
Caring for a family member who requires day-to-day care and support can at times be emotionally
and physically demanding for family carers. Everyone, understandably needs some time to catch
up on daily life, take a holiday or simply have some relaxation time to refresh and recharge. At
The Good Care Group you can be rest assured that you can happily do this whilst your loved one
is receiving the highest quality live-in care, provided by a carer who is able to meet their medical,
social, domestic and personal needs whilst improving their overall health and wellbeing. And all in
the place they know and love best - their home.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY LIVE-IN CARE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Respite care also provides families with an opportunity to try a 24-hour live-in care arrangement
for the first time and take the step into a more permanent arrangement. This gives everyone the
opportunity to understand the practical and emotional considerations. It allows you to understand
how live-in care works, how it will be managed, how your loved one will respond to a relationship
with their carer and adapt to a new way of living that benefits both the person being cared for and
the family carer. For a minimum of two weeks (which can be taken as two separate weeks if needed)
you can really see if live-in care is right for you and your family.
FLEXIBILITY TO PLAN AND LIVE YOUR LIFE
Families can also plan with respite home care. A series of bookings can be made
over a period of time and we will endeavour to ensure you have the same care
team providing consistency of care for your loved one, whilst
providing you with the flexibility to plan breaks
away from your role as family carer.
