Many people who care for an older loved one don't realise how much they have been carrying until they finally take a moment to pause. Even a short break can help reduce stress, restore energy, make everyday caregiving feel more manageable, and reduce your chances of developing caregiver burnout. Our respite care services in Brighton and Hove give families the flexibility to take those important breaks when they need them, without compromising on the quality of care their loved one receives in their home. Whether you're attending a special event, catching up on work for a big project, enjoying an afternoon with your children, or simply having a few uninterrupted hours at home to recharge your mental batteries, our experienced Care Professionals can provide personalised care that's completely tailored to your loved one's needs and preferences. Their training and expertise can give you lasting peace of mind and allow you to fully enjoy your time away.

Your Local Office
The team here at Home Instead Brighton, Hove and Shoreham are proud to provide expert home care in Brighton and Hove. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
Being the person someone regularly depends on can be rewarding, but it can also mean your own plans are frequently postponed or cancelled. Studies suggest that at least 1 in 8 people across the UK provide some form of unpaid care, with the pressures of caring linked to a greater risk of experiencing anxiety or depression, so taking regular breaks from caregiving is so important. Home Instead’s Brighton and Hove team provides flexible, trusted respite care so you can say yes to more of the things that matter to you without worrying about who will support your loved one while you are away. Our Care Professionals can step in with attentive companionship and practical support that's shaped around your loved one’s personality, preferences and established habits. This continuity can help them feel content at home while giving you genuine freedom to focus your attention elsewhere, knowing your loved one is being properly taken care of in your absence. Our respite care also meets Care Quality Commission regulations, giving you more reassurance and confidence to make those plans knowing your loved one will be receiving quality support in the place where they feel most comfortable.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

A Care Professional who shares your loved one’s interests or simply understands their sense of humour can bring an enjoyable energy to respite care, and make it something they can look forward to. Our matching process considers these personal qualities alongside their ability to manage your loved one's health, mobility and practical needs, helping us select a dedicated and well-matched Care Professional. Whether you arrange a single visit or choose ongoing respite support, they will take time to understand your loved one’s preferences, usual routines and expectations of care, helping preserve the parts of their day that make them feel comfortable when you are gone. With support, they might enjoy a stroll around the Royal Pavilion Gardens, picking up their next read at Brighton library, taking a class through Ageing Well (part of Brighton and Hove City Council), or just staying home to play cards together or cook a favourite meal. Whatever their interests, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide companionship alongside services like dementia care, mobility support, catheter management, or overnight care so your loved one has everything they need to stay safe and healthy during your break. With our help at home, you can both spend time in ways that feel worthwhile.
A respite care arrangement can introduce a dose of variety into your loved one's life while you get a much-needed rest or attend to other responsibilities. They could share a hobby that's important to them, have more help with regular errands like getting groceries or picking up prescriptions, or simply enjoy chatting to someone new for a change. They may also develop more independence from having a short time away from you on a regular basis. Alongside this one-to-one time with their Care Professional, our experienced Brighton and Hove office team manages things in the background, such as coordinating visits, overseeing care arrangements, and making sure you and your family stay informed throughout each visit. A 2021 Census indicated that around 9.5% of the total population of East Sussex were providing unpaid care, and other organisations estimate the real number could be higher, so Home Instead is committed to helping those who may be struggling with the pressures of caregiving by ensuring you always have someone around to step in when needed. Our respite care arrangements are designed to give you peace of mind that your loved one is having a good time even when you are taking a break.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
