What is respite live-in care?
Respite live-in care involves a trained live-in carer staying in the home of your relative for a set period of time, whether that’s a few days, a few weeks, or even longer. During this time, the primary carer takes a break.
It’s different from residential respite, as the person can stay in the comfort of their own home with familiar surroundings and routines intact. For many, this part is very important, as moving to a new location can be anxiety-inducing and take a lot more work.
During respite home care in Peterborough, the trained carer helps with personal care, medication prompts, meals, mobility support, companionship, and overnight reassurance. They do all of this while living in the home for the agreed-upon amount of time. At Consultus Care, we make knowing how to receive respite care easy, as you can either call or request a callback online.
- CQC OVERALL RATING: GOOD
Independently inspected and regulated by the Care Quality Commission
Our managed live-in care service is assessed across five key inspection domains - all rated Good
What does CQC regulation mean for your family?
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), England's independent regulator of health and adult social care. This means our managed carers are supervised and accountable to a regulated framework - and our service is rated Good across all five CQC inspection domains.
Our introductory live-in care service introduces you directly to a self-employed carer. This service is not CQC regulated, as the carer works for you independently. We will always guide you to the service that genuinely meets your needs.
How respite care in Peterborough can help your family
Being a family carer means that your loved one can stay in familiar surroundings and access care from someone they fully trust. However, it’s completely natural to feel overwhelmed with the work involved from time to time, and respite care Peterborough gives you the chance to enjoy a well-earned break.
Relief for family carers and unpaid carers
Census 2021 shows 2.8% of Peterborough residents provide 50 or more hours of unpaid care each week, with a further 2.0% providing 20-49 hours. That’s a lot of time and effort put into caring for someone without receiving compensation. From time to time, it helps to have this enormous load lifted off your shoulders. A planned break is not a luxury; it’s essential for ensuring you stay healthy.
Familiar surroundings and continuity of support
When a person receives respite home care in Peterborough, they get to stay in familiar surroundings. They get to sleep in the same bed, perform the same routines, and enjoy being around family/pets. Live-in respite care is especially important for people living with dementia or anxiety, as suddenly uprooting their lives can be incredibly distressing.
Support for dementia, falls recovery, and specialist needs
Many people in Peterborough live with dementia. In fact, 1,363 older people in Peterborough were on the dementia register in January 2024, with a projected 47% increase by 2040. As such, having access to specialist dementia support in a safe, comfortable environment like your own home is so important.
Plus, fall admissions rise sharply with age. With Consultus Care carers, you have access to trained professionals who can assist with dementia support, falls prevention, and hospital recovery when you need it most. The care itself is also matched to the client’s specific needs, so they receive the best possible support.
