Respite & cover-up care
A break for you, without a break in care.
Caring for someone every day is demanding. Respite care steps in for a few days or weeks when you need a rest, have to travel, or your regular caregiver is on leave.
We learn the existing routine first so your loved one notices as little change as possible.
What’s included
- Short-term caregiver cover on the dates you choose
- Routine handover from the family or regular caregiver
- The same daily-living support as our standard arrangements
Who it suits
- Family carers who need a rest
- Cover during holidays or travel
- When a regular caregiver is on leave
Non-clinical support. Caregivers do not diagnose, treat, prescribe or administer medication beyond reminders, or provide emergency response. Doctor and nurse visits, physiotherapy and other clinical services can be arranged separately — see pricing.
Other care arrangements
Daytime careHelp with routines, meals, mobility and companionship during the day.
Extended day careLonger daytime cover that carries on into the evening.
Night & overnight careA caregiver present through the night, with a family handover in the morning.
24-hour careContinuous, scheduled caregiver cover for people with higher dependency.
Post-hospital home supportPractical, non-clinical help at home in the days after discharge.
Live-in careA caregiver who lives in the home on an agreed schedule.
Let’s talk about the right care for your loved one.
Whether you need a few hours of help, overnight support or a long-term caregiver, a coordinator will guide you — with no obligation until you confirm your written quotation.
