Respite Care in Penarth

Respite care allows family carers to take a break from caring, while the person you care for is looked after by someone else. It lets you take time out for yourself and helps stop you becoming burnt out and exhausted. Our respite day care service in Penarth, Barry & surrounding areas can take several different forms, from a few hours each week, to live in care that enables you to go away for a well-earned break or a trip to visit family or friends. Caring for a loved one is a privilege but it is also hard work at times – we are here to help. Our care team are carefully selected for their empathy, compassion and their desire to put a smile on their client's faces.

To us it's personal

Respite home care can often work well for our client and their loved ones, allowing family carers to have a break before returning to their caring role. Home care can offer a less disruptive alternative to residential respite care. The service can respond to changing needs and be amended to suit your preferences. We support a gentleman living with dementia in Penarth, taking him out for a walk and a trip to local café whilst his wife goes out for the day. His wife returns home feeling re-energised to carry on with her primary caring role and the gentleman thoroughly enjoys time spent with his regular care professional.
