A little time away can make a meaningful difference when you're a regular caregiver for an older loved one. Whether it's a few hours to unwind or several days to focus on other responsibilities that are pulling your attention, taking frequent breaks can help you maintain your own health and wellbeing so you can continue providing care with renewed energy. At Home Instead in Wiltshire, our personalised respite care is designed to give you the flexibility to take a break whenever you need one.

Having someone dependable to share the caregiving load with can make it easier to find a healthy balance between caregiving and the rest of your 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 finding time to focus on your wellbeing and mental health is incredibly important. Home Instead’s Wiltshire team offers trusted respite care that gives you the freedom to take some time away when you need to, while your loved one continues to receive attentive support at home. Your loved one's Care Professional can provide personalised support that meets Care Quality Commission regulations, and reassuring companionship that follows the routines that help your loved one feel comfortable at home while you're gone. Our goal is to give you confidence to step away knowing their dignity, safety and wellbeing will continue to be prioritised no matter how long your break is for.
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.

It’s much easier to welcome someone into your home when they feel like a person you can genuinely enjoy spending time with. We want your loved one to experience this during respite care, so we aim to match them with a dedicated Care Professional whose personality, interests and way of communicating suit their own, while also ensuring they have the expertise required for their specific support needs. Whether it’s a one-off visit or an ongoing respite arrangement, your loved one's Care Professional will learn how they prefer to spend their time, what they want to manage independently at home, and which routines they would like to keep unchanged. With support, they might want to do a day trip to a nearby National Trust site, attend one of Age UK Wiltshire’s Fitness & Friendship Clubs, or simply stay home playing chess or doing some baking while they have extra help. Whatever they enjoy doing, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide any combination of care they need, such as personal care, mobility support, catheter management, dementia care, or medication management. We make sure that alongside catering to their health and care needs, your loved one has someone around who can contribute positively to their day through interesting conversation and enjoyable activities. This allows you to take your break knowing they have everything they need back at home.
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 new experiences that feel separate from their everyday care routines, while remaining in control of how their day is structured. They might choose to spend the afternoon sharing stories over a cup of tea, getting absorbed in a creative activity together, or heading somewhere in the community while they have the assistance of their Care Professional. These moments can bring mental stimulation and help your loved one maintain interests that are important to their identity, even when you're not around to help. Making plans with someone other than their usual caregiver may also help them realise they have a wider network of people available if ever you need to take more time off, or if their care needs intensify in future. Our experienced office team in Wiltshire helps ensure each visit is well-organised by coordinating schedules, sharing relevant information with you throughout, and overseeing the arrangement so it continues to run effectively. No one person can or should carry the full burden of caring for an older person, so bringing the right support into your family can make room for a healthier balance and a more sustainable lifestyle for everyone involved.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
