RESPITE CARE
For when you need a break
Respite care is temporary care for elders or individuals when their normal carers are not available.
​
At Courtesy Care we understand that to be able to take good care of your loved one means taking good care of yourself. Time to rest and recharge is essential so that you can continue to give your best care. We recognise the importance of easy access to high-quality respite care that gives you the assurance you need.
​
Short breaks can be of great benefit to the person you care for too. They offer the person the opportunity to do something a bit different from their usual routine and the chance to meet new people.
​
We can provide respite care and support for service users with complex needs in the comfort of their own homes. Our services range from a sitting service for a couple of hours to 24-hour live-in care. We offer personalised care and support, so you and your loved one have the service that you want, in the way you both want it.
​
Our reliable, compassionate staff are fully trained so that you have the peace of mind you need to take that much-needed break.
​
You might need to arrange short-term care if you have to attend to a family emergency or other commitments. Respite care ensures that the person you are supporting always has someone there to help them if you’re not around. With our expert carer assessments in place, we are able to provide the highest quality respite care breaks for carers, friends and family.
