Looking after someone you love takes dedication, and in Surrey, where 8% of residents provide unpaid care, taking breaks is essential for sustainable care. Across Godalming, Haslemere, and the surrounding areas, our respite service gives family carers the chance to recharge while their loved ones receive professional support at home. Taking care of yourself means you can be there for others – that’s why we’ve designed our respite care to be completely flexible, from a few hours weekly to overnight stays, fitting around your needs and routines.

“Home Instead really stepped in to make sure mum didn’t feel alone,” wrote one key worker son on homecare.co.uk, sharing how our respite care helped during difficult times. Another family noted we were “incredibly supportive” and “always acted swiftly,” giving them confidence to take much-needed breaks. These experiences show how reliable respite care supports both clients and their family carers.
Stepping in to provide respite requires special understanding and skill. Our Care Professionals train extensively in our Elstead facility, mastering everything from specialist care techniques to maintaining familiar daily rhythms. The team brings diverse experience – former nurses, teachers, and other professionals who’ve chosen care as their calling – all coordinated by Amanda Burrow, our owner and Registered Care Manager. Everyone completes comprehensive training in areas like dementia care, medication management, and mobility support, ensuring they’re fully prepared to maintain the high standards of care families provide. Local connections strengthen our respite service. Strong relationships with GPs and healthcare providers across Surrey and West Sussex help us coordinate comprehensive support. You’ll find our team at community events like the Ashington Fair, sharing information about family carer support. Working alongside our sister office in Guildford and Woking, we organise regular activities and events that bring together clients and carers, building a supportive local network for families managing long-term care needs.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
