Short-Term Respite Care for Market Harborough & Oadby

Short-term respite care in Market Harborough & Oadby

With short-term respite care, a Care Expert stays in your loved one’s home for an agreed period and provides support around their usual routines. This could be for a few days, several weeks or longer, depending on what is needed.

It can be particularly helpful after a hospital stay, when someone may be well enough to return home but still need support while they regain their strength and confidence. It can also give family carers the chance to take a holiday, attend an important event or simply have a proper break knowing their loved one is being looked after.

We support families with short-term respite care across Market Harborough, Oadby, Great Bowden, Little Bowden, Kibworth, Foxton, Little Stretton and surrounding villages.

What can short-term respite care include?

Every respite arrangement is different, so the support is planned around your loved one's medical and general care needs. A Care Expert may help with personal care, getting dressed, preparing meals, medication, mobility around the home, shopping and everyday household tasks. They can also help your loved one manage their usual routines, go to appointments, and offer supportive, reliable companionship.

Because the support takes place in their own home, your loved one can stay somewhere familiar rather than having to adjust to temporary residential care. Being able to recover in their own home can help your loved one feel more settled, comfortable and confident while they get back on their feet.

When short-term respite care can help

Respite care can be useful in all sorts of situations. It may be needed when your loved one comes home from hospital, when their usual carer is taking a break or during a period when a little extra help is needed to keep things manageable at home. Some families arrange short-term care once for a specific situation. Others come back to respite care whenever they need additional help throughout the year.
