To us it's personal

We know that stepping back from a caring role, even briefly, can be a difficult decision. But taking a break doesn’t mean letting go; it means making space to rest. At Home Instead Bromley, our respite care can be as flexible as you need it to be. It might involve a few hours of companionship each week, help with meals and mobility, or full-time support while you’re away. Whatever your situation, we’ll work with you to create a plan that you’re comfortable with and match you with a care professional who shares similar interests and personality. That way, your loved one remains supported by someone they trust, allowing you to take time for yourself. Because home care for families means caring for carers too.

Choosing Home Instead Bromley for personalised home care

Respite care doesn’t have to be a one-off. For many families in Bromley, it’s been the first step in discovering what ongoing support at home could look like. One family contacted us for two weeks of respite care while their mother recovered after a stay at Princess Royal Hospital. During that time, she and her Care Professional discovered a shared love of painting, something that quickly became a regular activity and topic of conversation during their visits. Even after she felt physically better, her family chose to continue with weekly companionship visits to keep that connection going. Short-term support can often open the door to something more lasting, offering reassurance and continuity while they continue living at home.

At Home Instead Bromley, our team is made up of experienced Care Professionals and dedicated office staff who work closely together to make sure every detail is covered.

We’re also currently shortlisted for the Palliative Care Awards 2025 in the Home Care Team category. These recognitions reflect the standard we bring to every family we support in Bromley, no matter how long we’re there. As part of our commitment to improving the quality of life of older adults and their carers across Bromley, we actively connect families with local resources that make life a little easier. Our team regularly attends events, such as the Beckenham PCN Wellbeing Café, following our Love to Move sessions. This welcoming space offers informal support and provides an opportunity to meet others on a similar journey. With our owner, Karina Brown, as a trustee, we also work closely with Age UK Bromley, which hosts a range of activities and services designed for both clients and those caring for them at home. Whether it’s practical help or a moment of rest, we’re here to support the whole family, because no one should have to do it all alone.
