Relief to Carer (Short Term Care)

The preference for most people is to receive care and support in their own homes.

We can provide the support of a carer for a short time following discharge from hospital, after a period of illness, whilst you recover or for when the main carer is looking to take a break from their caring role.

If you regularly rely on a family member or friend, this will enable them have a break, feeling rest assured that you are being well looked after whilst they are away.

Lorraine, Wantage

"Thank you for caring for my brother MT. You and your team have been brilliant.  So far the care for M has been going well. Always enough food and drink left within reach for him between visits. Food has been made as requested and personal care attended to. Any worries have been discussed via phone. Thank you for your kindness."
