Your Local Office
The team here at Home Instead Down & Lisburn are proud to provide expert home care in Lisburn. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
Finding someone you trust to take over can be one of the biggest barriers when it comes to taking a proper break from caregiving, particularly when your loved one has established routines or specific preferences that you don't want to disrupt. Studies show that at least 1 in 8 people across the UK provide unpaid care, and carers may face an increased risk of anxiety and depression, so finding time to focus on your own mental health and wellbeing is important. Home Instead’s Lisburn team provides personalised, trusted respite care that helps make time apart feel more comfortable for you both. Support can be arranged in whatever way will suit your family best, and our Care Professionals will always take the time to understand the person behind the care needs, from how your loved one likes to spend their afternoon to the conversations and activities they enjoy most. As all of our respite care meets Care Quality Commission regulations, you can also feel reassured that your loved one will be in safe and professional hands while they continue to feel comfortable in their own home.
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.

Sometimes a successful respite visit begins with something as simple as two people discovering they both love gardening, baking, or the same television programmes. We consider these potential points of connection when matching your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional, alongside things like their personality, lifestyle and the experience required for their individual care needs. Whether you need a one-off visit or choose ongoing respite, your loved one's Care Professional will get to know the important elements of their day, from preferred routines and activities to the way they like assistance offered at home, helping them maintain a sense of control and choice in their day. With support, they may want to take a walk around Castle Gardens, browse Bow Street Mall, or simply stay home to tend to the garden or complete a puzzle together. Whatever they enjoy doing, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide the combination of services that suit them best, such as personal care, dementia care, catheter management, home help or diabetes monitoring. By arranging support that combines capable care with enjoyable companionship, you can take a guilt-free break knowing your loved one has something positive to look forward to as well.
As well as you getting the break you need, your loved one can use their respite time to reconnect with interests and activities they enjoy. They might like to spend time on a creative project within their home, dive into conversations about a topic they are passionate about, or use the time to go somewhere in their community while they have professional support available. Their Care Professional can provide helpful assistance without fully taking over, allowing your loved one to remain involved in plans and make decisions for themselves where they are able. Having this additional source of support can reduce their dependence on you and your family, and make it easier for them to accept help from others in future if their care needs change. Our experienced team in Lisburn takes care of the behind-the-scenes coordination by managing schedules, overseeing the arrangements so they continue to be effective, and keeping in touch with you so you can feel content that your loved one is in good hands while you're gone. Outside of your caregiving role, there will always be other responsibilities that only you can fulfil and moments you don't want to miss, so having trusted respite care available means you can find a healthy balance between caregiving and other parts of life.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
