Looking after your own wellbeing becomes harder when you are a caregiver for someone else, as this can take up a significant amount of your time and attention. 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 although it can be difficult to find time for yourself and your mental health, it is certainly worthwhile. Home Instead’s Thornbury team offers trusted respite care that helps you make time for yourself while ensuring your loved one continues to receive the dependable support they're used to in familiar surroundings. Their Care Professional can provide personalised support and reassuring companionship while respecting the way they like things done at home, and the routines that bring them comfort. Our respite services meet Care Quality Commission regulations, giving you confidence that their dignity and safety will remain priorities while you enjoy some 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 little common ground can go a long way when your loved one is spending time with their new respite Care Professional. Whether they connect through travel stories, favourite TV programmes, or a similar sense of humour, we consider these personal details when matching them with a dedicated Care Professional, alongside things like their personality, communication style, interests, and specific 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 learn the routines they want to continue with, the activities they want to try, and how they like support to be offered at home. With support, they might want to attend an Age UK South Gloucestershire Walking Well group, browse Dobbies Garden Centre, or just stay home doing some scrapbooking or some light gardening while they have extra help at hand. Whatever they enjoy doing, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide any combination of care they need, such as personal care, mobility support, overnight care, dementia care, or medication management. We make sure that while you're taking a well-earned break, your loved one's needs are always met while they enjoy friendly company throughout the day.
Respite care can offer a surprising number of benefits to your loved one while you take the rest you need. They can enjoy a change of company and conversations, someone new to share their interests with, and professional insight into how their day is structured and the care they receive. We aim to give them as much choice as possible in their day, so they might choose to spend this time swapping stories, preparing a favourite meal together, working on a hobby, or getting out into the community while they have support. Having dedicated assistance available can make these choices easier, encourage their independence, and help them build confidence in a wider network of support so that in future, not everything must depend on you. Our experienced office team in Thornbury makes sure everything continues to run smoothly behind the scenes by arranging visits, overseeing the service from start to finish, and keeping you in the loop throughout so you always know what's happening back at home. Being a caregiver for someone you love can mean constantly organising your own life around what must be done to keep them safe and happy, but respite can return some space in your schedule for whatever you want to do, without your loved one missing out on the support that matters to them.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
