Having someone else available to step in and take over your caregiving responsibilities can make a world of difference when you are accustomed to being the only one who provides a loved one’s day-to-day support. Studies suggest that at least 1 in 8 people throughout the UK provide some level of unpaid care, with carers at greater risk of experiencing depression or anxiety, so it can make a huge difference having that extra helping hand to take over for you so you can focus on your own wellbeing. Home Instead’s Somerset team provides trusted respite care that allows you to temporarily share the responsibilities of caregiving and give your attention to other parts of your life. Respite can help when unexpected commitments appear in your diary, or it can be arranged as a regular occurrence. In either case, throughout your absence your loved one's Care Professional can provide personalised support and companionship based around their usual preferences and routines, so they continue to feel comfortable at home while you're not around. Our respite services comply with Care Quality Commission regulations, offering additional reassurance that your loved one's wellbeing, dignity and safety continue to be protected while you take some valuable time for yourself.
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.
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!

Rather than asking your loved one to adapt to whoever happens to be free to provide their respite care, we aim to find someone who fits comfortably into their world. That starts with matching them to a dedicated Care Professional whose personality, interests, lifestyle and communication style complement theirs, while also ensuring they have the appropriate experience for any particular care requirements. Whether it’s a one-off visit or an ongoing respite arrangement, your loved one's Care Professional will get to know the routines they value at home, the things they enjoy doing with their time, and how they prefer support to fit into their day. This helps us maintain continuity where it's needed, while giving them the option to choose how they spend their respite period. With support, they might want to take a gentle walk somewhere along the coast, try one of Age UK Somerset's 50+ Ageing Well sessions, or simply stay home to work on a puzzle or tend to plants while they have extra help. Whatever they enjoy doing, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide the support they need to stay safe and comfortable at home, such as personal care, mobility support, home help, Parkinson’s care, or catheter management. Our Care Professionals will always aim to work around your loved one’s preferences rather than changing them, so they can enjoy consistency in their days while you take the respite time you need knowing their lifestyle and routines won't be disrupted.
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!

Even just a few hours of respite can give your loved one time to enjoy their interests without feeling that their plans are interrupting yours. They might want to spend time in their garden, chat with their Care Professional over a cup of tea, or head out into their community while they have professional assistance. Having help easily available can make these choices easier, and having different company in the home can add social stimulation and fresh conversations to their day. It also helps for your loved one to become more used to having another relationship outside their usual family circle provide care within their home, so they can start to feel comfortable with this arrangement in case you need further respite care in future. Our office staff in Somerset take care of the wider organisation surrounding each visit, working behind the scenes to coordinate Care Professionals, oversee schedules, and maintain communication with you and your family so you never need to worry about what's going on back at home. The value of respite is not limited to you; your loved one can also benefit from your renewed energy, and spending time with someone different who can offer a new perspective on the usual caregiving routine.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
