Respite care
If you are a career, our respite care could give you the break you required.
Respite care is usually a short-term package of care from someone who is not the regular carer of your loved ones. Respite care from Penta-A Support & Care would take place in their own home and allow you, as their usual carer, time to rest and take care of yourself so you are better able to take care of them.
At Penta-A Support & Care we understand that carers looking after their loved ones also need to look after themselves to be able to provide the very best care to their loved ones. We provide caring and competent staff to love after your loved ones, while you have the needed time to look after yourself.
Benefits of respite care
⦁ Reduced stress for both you and your loved one, helping to maintain a healthy relationship.
⦁ Relieved frustrations and possible feelings of resentment.
⦁ Gives you time to interact with family and friends.
⦁ Provides you with the opportunity to work, study, have a day-off or even go on holiday.
⦁ Your loved one could benefit from interacting with other carers, new stimuli and a possible change to their usual routine.
Types of Respite Care
Our Respite Care service is flexible and is tailored to your individual needs. Respite care can be:
⦁ Short-term package – for example if you are looking to take a holiday
⦁ Longer-term regular visits – allowing you to take a regular break to rest and recharge such as a daily or weekly visit
