Respite Care Coventry

Respite care is typically a short-term care package provided by someone who is not your loved ones primary caregiver. Our dedicated carers would provide the care at the Service Users home, allowing their primary carer time to rest and care for themselves.  

Here at Advanced Care, we understand that in order to provide the best care for your loved ones, you need to also take time to care for yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Finding time to rest and recharge is helpful, and so is having someone you can trust look after your loved one. Rest assured that our dependable, compassionate care assistants are fully trained, giving you the peace of mind you need to take that well-deserved break.

How can respite care help me?

When you have a trusted care assistant that can support your loved one, you can find more time to take care of yourself. Whether you want to run personal errands, get out of the house more or just relax to mentally and physically recharge, respite care lends you that flexibility. Our additional assistance can help to take care of yourself, so you can better care for your loved one.

Short breaks can be extremely beneficial not only to you, but also to the person you care for. Let our care assistants help you ease the burden of family caregiving.

The benefits of respite care

The benefits of respite care include:

• Alleviate frustrations and feelings of resentment
• Reduced stress levels for you and your loved one, which helps to promote a healthier relationship
• Lends you the flexibility to study, work, enjoy a day off or even an extended vacation
• Your loved one could benefit from interacting with other carers, and temporarily stepping out of their usual day to day routine.  

Types of respite care

We tailor our respite care service to your specific requirements.

When it comes to respite care, you can choose from:

• Short-term care package – Our support workers can provide temporary support for your loved ones whilst you’re away. The service is available on-demand and reflects the level of support needed. For example, if you want to take a brief vacation, our carers can provide temporary care in your stead.
• Long-term regular visits – this enables you to take more regular breaks to rest and recharge frequently. The support may entail a single “pop-in” visit to check all is okay or several visits throughout the day with adequate support workers to meet more complex needs.

At Advanced Care, we specialise in providing compassionate, dedicated care to Services Users from the comfort of their own homes. Get in touch to find out how we can help you, no matter what your needs are.

Enablement care services

Enablement care is focused on helping individuals to learn or relearn day-to-day skills that they may have lost during illness or time spent in hospital. This care typically lasts for no longer than six weeks (see below for post-6-week care). However, it can sometimes be as brief as one or two weeks. The duration of care depends on the individual’s progress.

The aims of our short-term Enablement Service are to ensure Service Users, their carers and community support workers are aware of what a short-term enablement service entails and how it is implemented.

• An Enablement Service is a short-term care package of home support. It is a period of assessment to ascertain the Service Users’ capability to live independently. Furthermore, it helps to determine whether a long-term home care package is needed.
• The Service requires community support workers to work with Service Users to prompt and encourage them to perform daily tasks such as washing, dressing and meal preparation with minimal assistance.
• Monitoring and feedback are essential to ensure outcomes are achieved and an appropriate level of support is delivered or to end the support when goals are met, and skills have been retained and maintained.
• Enablement care is provided free of charge to the service user in many cases. Enablement care is provided free of charge to the service user in many cases through the NHS.

Post 6-Week Care (Long Term Care): With the reductions in public sector funding, enablement care is targeted at providing a relatively quick, intensive solution to post-hospital care. While enablement care in this form is often successful, it is not always the case. In the case of some injuries, illnesses or conditions, enablement care is not lengthy enough, individuals may require care after this period. As with enablement care itself, Advanced Care can provide industry-leading post-enablement care. This facilitates Service Users in becoming independent in their own time.
