What Is Respite & Holiday Care?
Our Respite and Holiday Care service is a temporary solution provided by our expert caregivers when your regular caregiver requires a break or when your family is on vacation. We understand that caregivers also need time to tend to their well-being, and we are here to support you in case of any emergency or vacation plans. Our respite and holiday care services are available 24/7 to help make your life easier.
The Responsibilities Of A Respite Carer
Respite carers offer companionship to their clients, providing emotional support and a friendly presence. They engage in activities and provide social interaction, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
They assist with personal hygiene tasks such as bathing, grooming, and dressing. They ensure their clients feel clean, comfortable, and confident in their appearance.
Carers are responsible for administering medications as prescribed by healthcare professionals. They maintain accurate records of medication schedules and any side effects.
Respite carers plan and prepare nutritious meals tailored to the client’s dietary requirements. They ensure that the client receives proper nutrition to maintain their health.
Carers assist clients with mobility issues, helping them move safely around the home or providing support during transfers from bed to wheelchair or other areas.
Keeping the client’s living space clean and organised is essential. Respite carers may perform light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, dishes, and tidying up to maintain a safe and comfortable environment.
Some respite carers provide transportation services, such as taking clients to medical appointments, grocery shopping, or social outings, ensuring they remain connected to the community.
