Respite and Short-Term Care
Support when you need it, for as long as you need it.
What is respite care at home?
Respite care gives a family carer a break by bringing in a professional carer for a set period, from a few hours to several weeks. Radiant Support also provides short-term care after a hospital stay or illness, helping people settle back at home safely.
A Break for Carers, Continuity for Loved Ones
Looking after someone you love is rewarding and demanding. Regular breaks help family carers stay well. We step in with the same routines and standards, so your loved one is comfortable and you can rest.
After a hospital stay, a few weeks of extra help with personal care, meals and medication prompts can make the difference between settling well and struggling. We can start quickly and step back as confidence returns.
Common Reasons People Use Short-Term Care
- A family carer's holiday, illness or rest.
- Coming home from hospital.
- Recovery after an operation or fall.
- Trying home care before committing to a longer plan.
