Caregiving can be incredibly rewarding, but it also requires time, energy, and emotional resilience.

Having time to rest and focus on your own needs can be especially valuable when caring has become a significant part of your daily life. 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 regular time in your schedule to focus on your own mental health. Home Instead’s Preston team provides trusted respite care that allows you to take that important time while your loved one continues to receive dependable support in their own home. Respite can make it easier to manage busier periods when work, family or practical commitments need more of your attention, freeing up time for you to just think about you for a change. Your loved one's Care Professional can provide personalised support and reassuring companionship while respecting the routines that bring them comfort. Our respite services meet Care Quality Commission regulations, helping you enjoy your break with confidence that their dignity and wellbeing continue to be prioritised even 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.

We believe the person stepping in during respite should feel like an old friend, not simply someone who's there to complete a list of care tasks. That's why we look for a Care Professional who can connect with your loved one through compatible personalities, interests and ways of communicating, while also ensuring their training and experience are suited to the specific care requirements. Whether it’s a one-off visit or an ongoing respite arrangement, your loved one's dedicated Care Professional will take the time to understand what keeps them comfortable at home, the routines they want to continue following, and how they prefer support to be provided at home. With assistance, they might like to take a gentle walk around Miller Park, browse Fishergate Shopping Centre, or just stay home doing a puzzle or watering their plants while they have help around. 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, catheter management, home help, or dementia care. When your loved one has companionship from someone who brings both practical expertise and enjoyable company, you can make your own plans and take a well-earned break knowing your loved one is enjoying their time too.
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!

Respite can give your loved one an opportunity to enjoy a day that feels genuinely different from their usual routine, where they can make their own plans and have someone dependable around to help make them happen. They might want to spend time on a practical project, go somewhere in their community that they have been meaning to, or just share new conversations and laughter with their Care Professional at the kitchen table. Having these experiences separately from you can give them a sense of independence, confirming that they are able to manage without you when they need to. It can also build their confidence in receiving support from other people, giving them a wider network of assistance to draw upon whenever you need time off from your caregiving responsibilities. Our experienced office team in Preston provides the coordination that keeps each respite visit running smoothly, by arranging schedules, communicating important details with you and your family throughout, and overseeing the wider service so that changes can be quickly addressed when necessary. Whatever caregiving looks like for your family, our role is to make the whole process feel easier and more flexible, so you and your loved one can continue to find a healthy balance while both getting what you need from the respite arrangements.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
