Respite for carers

Our respite service involves our staff providing tailored, professional care support to people, at home or out in the community. It enables unpaid carers to have time away from their caring role, secure in the knowledge that the person they look after is happy, safe and supported.

East London/Essex

In East London/Essex our respite service is currently available in Epping Forest, Havering, Harlow and Redbridge.

This service is flexible and personalised according to individual needs. Firstly, we'll speak to both the person being cared for and the person who has been providing care – and invite both parties to talk about their needs and circumstances. Then, we'll draw up individualised plans for care suited to their exacting requirements. 

Respite care be provided over a period of a few hours, days or weeks, and may include overnight care.

Dependent on your location, we can help with:

  • Tailored care packages for adults and children
  • Specialised dementia care
  • Specialised cancer care
  • Day care provision (mild to moderate dementia)

Funding and availability for this service may vary per location. Please contact us for more information.

If you would like to access either the respite or befriending service by private arrangement, please contact us.
