RESPITE CARE

A break for family carers

Caring for a partner, parent or other family member can be enormously rewarding, but everyone needs time to rest or take a break.

Abide can provide agreed short-term support at home, allowing a family carer to step away knowing their loved one has friendly, reliable support in place.

Support can be planned around the individual’s usual routines and the help they normally receive.

HOLIDAY COVER

Support while you’re staying in Brixham

Being away from home can mean being away from the care or practical support you normally rely on.

If you’re visiting Brixham or the surrounding area for a holiday or to spend time with family, Abide may be able to provide short-term support during your stay.

This could include agreed help such as accompaniment, light domestic support and other everyday assistance, giving you extra reassurance while you’re away from your usual provider.

HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU

Flexible support shaped around what you need

Every situation is different. Short-term support can be arranged around the individual’s usual routines, circumstances and the type of help required, whether Abide is stepping in for a family carer or supporting someone while they are staying locally.

Companionship & reassurance

Friendly company and a reassuring presence, whether for a few hours or as part of a planned period of support.

Accompaniment & outings

Support with appointments, shopping trips, visits, days out and other activities in the local area.

Light domestic support

Help with everyday household tasks to make a temporary stay or period of respite easier and more comfortable.

Meal preparation

Practical help preparing simple meals and refreshments around the individual’s normal preferences and routine.

Personal care

Where appropriate, support with personal routines such as washing and dressing can be included as part of agreed respite arrangements.

Medication prompting

Where this forms part of the agreed support, friendly reminders can help someone maintain their usual medication routine.

Abide can provide planned respite support around your loved one’s usual routines, giving you time to rest, attend appointments or spend time away with greater peace of mind.
