Everyone needs a break. Caring can be very physically and emotionally demanding, and we recognise that occasionally, a rest is required. Eclipse Homecare’s qualified caregivers can offer short-term respite care – whether that’s a few days a fortnight or a little longer – to enable your current carer to take a well-earned break. During this time, you’ll receive high-quality one-to-one respite care from one of our highly-trained caregivers, ensuring your needs continue to be met without any disruption.
As a respected care provider regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), you can rest assured that you or your loved one is safe in the hands of trusted professionals and receiving the very best care.
It doesn’t matter if respite care is needed at short notice, our team are happy to deploy quickly to seamlessly continue the high-level of care that has already been provided. Alternatively, if a holiday is planned, we can work with you throughout the planning process, providing guidance and advice on how we can help. Either way, we’ll ensure both the person being cared for – and the carer – has full peace of mind.
Whether it’s condition-led care, companionship or assistance for someone with a disability, we’re able to help.
