Respite Care in Cannock

Respite care can be provided on a live-in day care or overnight care basis but has a more temporary nature. So perhaps family are taking a holiday, and mum is not well enough to go, or maybe a family carer is taking a vacation or going on a trip. We can step in on a short-term basis to provide the care and support that the family would normally provide. The duration can be from a few days to a couple of weeks and can be provided in isolation or on a rolling basis with a regular team of care professionals. The main premise is to provide some short-term relief or respite care at home on a more temporary basis for a particular occasion or perhaps just for loved ones to recharge.

To us it's personal

Home Instead Cannock and Burntwood deliver respite care for many of our clients and in a relatively recent instance, we provided the care with a family member on a trip to Germany. Our client and husband wanted to have one last holiday together in a place they had once lived. Working with the local Health Board and community occupational therapists, we were able to work out a plan of care that meant they could realise their dream. The couple could not have managed to achieve this on their own, but our motto is to ‘always find a way’ – so we did!
