Respite care at home
Whether you are the full-time primary caregiver or in need of more general support, we can provide respite care and share the responsibility of looking after a loved one, giving you a much-deserved break.
To reduce the potential anxieties of meeting someone new, our carers provide the service in the individual’s own home, ensuring complete comfort and peace of mind.
Services include:
- Mobility support and steadying
- Assistance with showering, bathing, shaving and oral hygiene
- Assistance with dressing
- Assistance with getting to / from the toilet
Our respite care is a great help if you are struggling to balance being a primary caregiver, work-life, family time and personal time. We also understand that care needs are constantly changing and offer a fully flexible service should you need to take on a full-time continuous carer.

What is Respite Care?
Respite care is short term care option which allows the current carer to take a break.
We know how demanding care can be, and just how important it is to take a break from time to time. This break could be holiday cover, or to provide a much needed break to recover from illness, injury or stress.
We can offer a live-in Country Cousins carer to live in with the person who needs care for several weeks at a time, allowing them can remain in the familiarity of their own. We also understand that many care givers can feel anxious about leaving for a period of time but rest assured that you are safe hands with Country Cousins as we, and our experienced respite carers, have provided quality live-in care for over 60 years.
When matching client’s to potential carers, we consider:
- Your care needs, do you need someone with more experience in manual handling for example
- Location, where possible, we will always send you a carer local to you
- Interests, do you both love cooking, gardening, and pets?
- Other requirements, such as do you have a busy social calendar and need someone who can get you to your appointments on time?
- We pay attention to the smallest of details because often, these will make the biggest difference.
