Independence

Respite for carers.

Even the people who love you need a day off. Guilt-free.

A real break for the person who cares for you — because they can rest easy knowing you're in kind, capable hands, at home or out in the community.

How respite works with us.

In-home respite

We step in at home so your carer can step out.

Community respite

Time out in the community, with company and activity.

Planned regular breaks

A standing break your carer can count on.

Emergency respite

Support at short notice when life happens.

One-to-one or group

Whatever suits you best on the day.

How it works.

1

A friendly chat

Tell us what's going on. No jargon, no pressure — just a real conversation about what you need.

2

A plan built around you

We shape support around your life, your goals and your home — genuinely personal, never off a template.

3

Your person begins

Care starts with the same familiar face each visit — someone matched to you, who learns your routine and your story.

Is this you?

Respite might be right if…

A family member provides much of your care.

Your carer needs rest to look after their own health.

You'd both value a regular, reliable break.

You want peace of mind that you're in good hands.

Funding, made simple

How is this paid for?

Under Support at Home, independence services involve a co-contribution based on your means — often a modest one. We publish our prices in full and show you exactly what you'd pay before anything starts. No surprises, ever.
