Respite Care

Respite care provides short-term support, allowing primary carers to take a break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive consistent, high-quality care. It can be arranged for a few hours or several days. To ensure a smooth transition and maintain routine, especially for individuals with conditions like dementia, coordination with the primary care team is essential.

Respite care can be a number of things such as:
  • A break for family or friends caring for a loved one.
  • Trial stay before permanent residential or live-in care.
  • Post-operative or illness nursing support.
  • Emergency care if the main carer is unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking for care and support or would like to learn more about our support services, please contact our friendly enquiry team.

Respite care provides temporary relief for primary caregivers who may be feeling overwhelmed or in need of a break. It allows a professional carer to step in and provide care for your loved one for a short period, ensuring they continue to receive the support they need while giving you time to rest and recharge.

Caregiving can be physically and emotionally exhausting, and respite care gives family caregivers much-needed time to take care of their own health, attend to personal responsibilities, or simply have a break. It helps prevent caregiver burnout and ensures that both the caregiver and the person receiving care can maintain their well-being.

Dalchi Healthcare offers flexible respite care solutions, including:
  • Short-Term Respite: Care for a few hours or days while you take a break.
  • Overnight Respite: A carer can stay overnight to provide support and ensure safety during the night.
  • Live-In Respite: A carer stays with your loved one 24/7 for a longer break period.

Companionship care focuses on providing emotional and social support to individuals who may be feeling lonely or isolated. Companionship carers engage in activities such as conversation, hobbies, outings, and help with light household tasks, promoting emotional well-being and reducing feelings of isolation.

Companionship care is ideal for individuals who may be living alone, elderly people, or those with limited social interaction. It is especially beneficial for people who are struggling with loneliness, depression, or cognitive decline, providing them with the social engagement and emotional support they need to maintain a positive outlook on life.

Our companionship carers engage in a variety of activities, including:
  • Enjoying a conversation or reading together
  • Going for walks or outings to local places
  • Helping with hobbies such as knitting, gardening, or puzzles
  • Playing games, cards, or watching movies
  • Assisting with light housekeeping and meal preparation

To arrange respite or companionship care, simply contact us for an initial consultation. We’ll assess your loved one’s needs and preferences, and then create a tailored care plan. From there, we will match you with a carer who is best suited to meet those needs, and we can start the care at a time that works for you.

Yes, both respite and companionship care are available on a short-term or long-term basis. Whether you need a few hours of support, a few days, or a longer period, we can provide flexible care options to suit your needs.

If your loved one is experiencing feelings of loneliness, isolation, or if you, as a primary caregiver, are in need of a break, respite and/or companionship care may be the right option. We offer a free consultation where we will discuss your loved one’s needs, and provide you with advice on the best approach for support.
