Respite Care

We understand that sometimes everyone needs a break.  This benefits both you and your families. 

It’s also good to take a respite break to preserve relationships.  For many families, becoming a carer for a parent or spouse can change the dynamics of the relationship.  The person providing the care in the relationship may feel tired, but guilty for feeling tired and not having the energy to be how they want to be, and the person receiving the care may feel they are a burden due to how tired you seem to be.  It’s therefore important that everyone gets to take a regular break.

During this break, a MyLife Care Assistant can cover all caring responsibilities during the respite period, which can be arranged as a regular scheduled break or on an ad hoc basis, subject to availability.

• Short and Long-Term breaks can be planned for
• Flexibility to do the things you want to do, for example taking a holiday, accompanied by a trained individual who will tend to your care needs in a different environment

• Emergency cover can often be arranged, subject to availability
• Flexibility for your family to take a break, assured in the knowledge that someone well trained will nurture and care for their loved one in their absence
