Travel With Confidence: Holiday Care for You

Travel With Confidence: Holiday Care for You

A holiday should be something to look forward to – a chance to relax, explore and enjoy time away from your usual routine. But if you receive care at home, planning a trip can sometimes feel daunting. You might be wondering how your care needs will be supported, whether your destination is suitable, or how to make the journey safe and comfortable. Alternatively, you may not currently need or receive care, but as an older adult, the notion of travelling alone may be unfavourable or daunting. That’s exactly why our holiday care support service exists.

We’re here to help you enjoy a stress-free break with the reassurance of having a trusted Care Professionals by your side. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful UK getaway or planning to travel abroad, we can help make your holiday possible.

A Simple, Supportive Start

Everything begins with a friendly enquiry. Once you get in touch, we arrange a free home consultation at a time that suits you. This visit gives us the chance to understand your needs, talk through your holiday plans and discuss the type of support you’d like while you’re away.

From there, we create a personalised care plan tailored specifically to your trip. We also complete a full risk assessment to ensure your destination, accommodation and travel arrangements are safe and suitable. This careful preparation means you can set off knowing everything has been thoughtfully planned around your wellbeing.

Care That Travels with You

Our holiday support service is structured similarly to our live-in care, giving you consistent, one-to-one support from a Care Professional who understands your routines and preferences.

Because your Care Professional will be travelling with you, you would cover their travel and accommodation costs. This includes hotel stays and, if you’re heading overseas, their flights. When it comes to meals, you can either provide food during the trip or offer a daily food allowance – whichever works best for you.

This approach ensures your Care Professional is fully available to support you throughout your holiday, whether that means helping with personal care, mobility, medication, companionship or simply being there to give you peace of mind.

Ideal for Week-Long Breaks – With Flexibility for Frequent Travellers

To make this service run smoothly, we usually recommend a minimum holiday length of one week. This allows enough time for your Care Professional to settle into the rhythm of the trip and provide consistent support.

However, if you’re someone who takes regular short breaks, we can sometimes accommodate shorter holidays. We’re always happy to discuss your plans and explore what might be possible.

Book Early to Secure the Right Support

Holiday care support involves thoughtful planning, especially when travel, accommodation and care needs all come together. To ensure we can match you with the right Care Professional and organise everything properly, we recommend getting in touch at least one month before you plan to travel.

The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to make sure every detail is arranged smoothly.

Support for a Wide Range of Needs

Many people assume that complex care needs make travelling difficult – but that isn’t always the case. While certain conditions or specialist equipment can create additional considerations, especially for overseas travel, they don’t automatically rule out the possibility of a holiday.

If you’re planning a UK-based break, we can often source equipment locally at your destination, making travel much more accessible. Even for international trips, we’re happy to explore options with you and advise on what may or may not be feasible.

Our priority is always your safety, comfort and enjoyment, we’ll be open and supportive throughout the planning process.
