Respite care
Relief for caregivers, comfort for your loved one
Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but everyone needs time to rest and recharge. At District Health, our respite care services provide short-term support, ensuring your loved one receives compassionate, professional care while you take a well-earned break.
What is respite care?
Respite care offers temporary relief for family caregivers, whether for a few hours, days, or weeks.
This allows you to:
- Take time to rest and focus on your well-being
- Attend appointments, social events, or personal commitments
- Travel or take a holiday with peace of mind
- Avoid caregiver burnout while ensuring continuity of care for your loved one
Our trained carers provide attentive, high-quality care at home, helping maintain routines and offering reassurance to both the individual and their family.
