Having responsibility for someone else makes it difficult to switch off completely, particularly if you are always thinking ahead to their next meal, appointment or need. Studies indicate that at least 1 in 8 people across the UK provide unpaid care, and carers may experience an increased risk of anxiety and depression, so finding time to step away for the sake of your mental health is so important. Home Instead’s Leicester team provides trusted respite care that allows you to hand over your usual responsibilities for a while and concentrate fully on your own wellbeing or other life commitments. There are many reasons you might want time off, and in any case, your loved one's Care Professional can remain with them to provide personalised support that's based around their usual preferences and routines. All of our respite care is delivered in accordance with Care Quality Commission regulations, so you can enjoy a real break knowing your loved one's safety and dignity will be protected in your absence.
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.

From discussing yesterday’s TV programmes to swapping stories about places they have travelled, everyday conversation can be an important part of the bond your loved one shares with their Care Professional. That's why we aim to find someone they will enjoy talking to by considering things like their personality, background, interests and communication preferences during the matching process, alongside any particular care requirements. Whether respite is needed for a single occasion or as an ongoing arrangement, your loved one's dedicated Care Professional will take the time to learn how they prefer to spend their time, which routines and habits they want to continue with while you're gone, and where assistance could be most helpful. With support, they might enjoy taking a walk around Abbey Park, browsing the shops in Leicester's city centre, or simply spending a quieter afternoon at home reading or looking through family albums to share stories. Whatever they wish to do with their time, our highly trained Care Professionals can assist with whatever they need to stay safe and comfortable in their own home, such as personal care, catheter management, Parkinson’s care, home help, or diabetes monitoring. With capable support and good company arranged, you can take revitalising time away while your loved one continues enjoying the things that make their day their own.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

For your loved one, respite can be an opportunity to break away from their typical routine if they feel comfortable, and try something different while they have professional support to help. They might want to visit somewhere in their community, participate in an activity they enjoy, or simply appreciate a few hours of sharing conversation with someone new. These experiences can help them to maintain social connections while you're gone, and get them used to receiving support from someone outside their family to reduce their reliance on one caregiver and make future respite decisions easier. Even a few hours apart can give your loved one something novel to enjoy and talk about afterwards. While their Care Professional focuses on the time they spend together, our local team in Leicester handles important details in the background by coordinating visits, overseeing the service so everything runs smoothly, and maintaining communication with you so you never need to worry about what's going on back at home. Having someone you trust provide respite care when you need a break can put you at ease throughout the whole process, and take some of the responsibility off your shoulders so you can feel good about stepping away and putting your own life and priorities first for a while.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
