Elisie, Client
When care needs change suddenly, after surgery, illness or other life shifts, our respite care offers a bridge. One local client, Sue, needed short-term support post-op, and while her family weighed long-term options, we stepped in with a tailored plan covering medication, mobility, and home help. We picked up essentials from Tesco in New Malden and took her dog for walks on Wimbledon Common, helping her regain strength and routine. Our strong ties with local hospitals and care homes mean we can act fast and flexibly, keeping clients safe and supported at home, where recovery often feels most natural.
With years of experience and a heart for helping, our respite care team offers more than cover, we offer confidence. Led by Dr Burnie, our in-house clinician and dementia specialist, and Clare Jefferies, a recognised voice in home care, our team combines clinical know-how with real compassion. Every Care Pro is handpicked, trained to the highest standards, and backed by glowing reviews. Whether it's for a few days or a few weeks, we're here to make the transition smooth and supportive. During respite care, we know that continuity and connection for your loved one matters. At Home Instead Wimbledon & Kingston, we work closely with Kingston Hospital and St George's to support smooth transitions after hospital stays. Our team also taps into a trusted local network, from Wimbledon Physio to familiar places like Merton's Memory Café. Whether it's keeping routines steady or exploring next steps with care homes, we're here to guide and support your family at every turn, with kindness and local know-how.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
