Knowing someone reliable is available to step in and provide care for your loved one can make it much easier to take a break from your everyday caregiving responsibilities. Studies suggest that at least 1 in 8 people in the UK provide some form of unpaid care, with carers facing a greater risk of experiencing anxiety or depression, so it's important to find times to take a break. Home Instead’s Oxford team offers trusted respite care that gives you the freedom to focus on yourself while your loved one continues to receive attentive support at home. Respite can help when important commitments arise and you need to know someone dependable will be there in your place. Your loved one's Care Professional can provide personalised support and friendly companionship while respecting their familiar routines and preferences. Our respite services always meet Care Quality Commission regulations, giving you confidence that their comfort, dignity and wellbeing will continue to be carefully protected throughout your time away.
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.

A good connection can begin with something as simple as an interesting conversation, a shared joke or discovering a hobby that both people enjoy. We keep these personal details in mind when matching your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional, considering things like their personality, lifestyle and preferred ways of communicating, while also making sure they have the experience and skills needed to meet their individual health and care requirements. Whether it’s a one-off visit or an ongoing respite arrangement, your loved one's Care Professional will take the time to understand the routines they want to continue, their preferences around assistance, and the things that make an ordinary day enjoyable for them. With support, they might like to take a gentle walk around the University Parks, attend one of Age UK Oxfordshire's activities and classes, or just stay home watching a favourite film or preparing a recipe while they have an extra pair of hands around to help. Whatever they would like to do with their time, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide the services they need to feel safe and comfortable at home, such as personal care, mobility support, diabetes monitoring, home help or catheter management. When your loved one can spend time with someone who has been specifically chosen for both their skills and personality, you can take a proper break knowing they are more likely to find comfort in the arrangement.
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!

Your loved one may find that respite care gives them a welcome opportunity to enjoy new and interesting experiences without adding more to your plate. They might wish to spend time learning something new, revisit a hobby they have not worked on recently, or head out into their community while they have professional assistance. Their Care Professional can provide support where it's needed, while still allowing your loved one to make decisions for themselves so they can experience a boost in confidence and a greater sense of independence. Having another source of support can also make it easier for them to feel secure accepting help in future if you have other commitments or if their care needs intensify. Our experienced office team in Oxford can help keep respite care running smoothly by coordinating schedules, overseeing the service, and making sure you are kept informed of what's happening while you're gone. Sharing caregiving with other people can offer more balance so you don't become the sole source of support for your loved one, and this can create other meaningful connections for them while allowing you to protect the time and energy you need for everything else that matters in your life.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
