What this care means

Care that protects routine, dignity and family confidence.

Respite care offers temporary support when a family carer needs a break, when care needs become more complex, or when a family needs cover after illness, discharge or a change in circumstances.

What is respite care?

A safe break for family carers.

Family and loved ones often provide care because they love the person deeply. They enjoy their time together, but may not have found much time for themselves.

The care that needs to be provided cannot always be done in full, especially where needs are complex. With respite care, we offer family carers a break from burnout and give loved ones time to rest and recharge.

Whatever the person's needs, Flexserve can provide support across companionship, personal care such as washing and dressing, meal preparation, household chores, hospital appointment escorts and activities that keep life engaged.
