What is respite care?
Respite care is a type of service that allows caregivers to take a well-deserved break from their responsibilities temporarily. Caring for a loved one is a huge task and can be a very demanding role. It’s one that can often be carried out alongside one’s own day-to-day responsibilities, such as working, looking after the family, and taking care of the household – but this means that at times, it can feel overwhelming.
As a caregiver, the thought of taking a rest might seem daunting, but it’s important to do so, so you can continue caring for your loved one without being burnt out. Respite care can be invaluable to older people – it offers an opportunity to create relationships with new people and develop a relationship with a companion, who will often feel like an extended family member.
When is it the right time to use a respite care service?
If you’re considering a respite care service, but are unsure when is the right time to use one, we’ve outlined some signs that you might need a break below:
- When their condition worsens: If your relative’s condition worsens, the amount of support they need might change. As such, you might not be able to provide the care they need to live a fulfilling life.
- When you’re feeling overwhelmed: If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the amount of support you need to provide for your loved one, and the balance between caregiving and your personal life has become unmanageable, respite care might be the right choice for you.
- When you’re unable to facilitate their needs: If you or their circumstances change, and you’re no longer able to provide the right support for your loved one, a respite care service can help.

Respite care in Leicester: FAQs
What is the difference between respite home care and using a respite care home service?
The main difference between using a respite home care service and a respite care home service is the location in which your loved one receives support. Whilst a respite service is provided in a care home, a home care respite service is provided directly within the place your relative resides..
The former allows your loved one to receive round-the-clock care in a fully staffed environment. Meanwhile, the latter offers more flexibility, allowing you to scale up and down your caregiving responsibilities based on your own needs – whilst your loved one receives the support they need from the comfort of their own home.
Can I meet the Care Specialist before I use your respite services?
Of course! We know how important building relationships is, which is why every client is introduced to their carer before home care begins.
At Bridgewater Home Care, we carefully consider which of our Care Specialists will best suit your loved one based on their needs and unique condition. It’s how we ensure our clients are comfortable throughout their time with us, and can look forward to visits from our Care Specialists.
How quickly can you get a loved one into Bridgewater’s respite care service?
In most circumstances, care can be provided as quickly as 24 hours after the consultation has finished.
