Absolute Respite

Having a live-in carer can allow you to receive the healthcare you require while still maintaining independence within your home.

While Absolute do not offer live-in care packages, we are able to provide respite care. Your live-in carer requires a break to allow them to have some quality time to themselves and rest. We can offer visits that suit both you and your carer, allowing you both that independence and autonomy you desire.

We can provide the following services:

  • Personal care
  • Assistance with minor chores
  • Assistance with meals
  • Assistance with medication
  • Social visits

Personal care

Conducting personal care can be difficult when you have been in hospital, especially if this has affected your mobility and movement. Our personal care services can support you with:

  • Toileting/continence
  • Oral care
  • Feminine hygiene
  • Showering/bathing
  • Shaving

 

Please note that we do not conduct any form of wound management.

Assistance with minor chores

Although our Healthcare Assistants cannot do large household chores, we can assist with smaller tasks to make your life that bit easier. Whether you want the dishes done during the visit, a load of laundry completed, or simply a minor vacuum of your bedroom, your Healthcare Assistant will be happy to help.

Assistance with meals

Our Healthcare Assistants will ensure the utmost hygiene and care when preparing your meals. We will make you food based on your dietary needs and preferences. These can then be consumed when you want. 

We can also make food up to store for later meals, allowing you that automy to choose when you want to eat.

Assistance with medication

Your medication can be vital for your recovery or maintenance. We can support you with this through reminders, or actively helping to prepare and administer prescribed medication.

Please note that we can only assist with prescribed medication, where we have a copy of the prescription. We cannot assist with new medications that have yet to be uploaded onto our system, or over the counter medications.

Social visits

You can request Absolute Respite visits that are solely for socialisation. Within this, your Healthcare Assistant can talk with you, go for a walk together, play games, or simply be there to offer you another person within your social circle.

Contact Absolute today to set up respite care to support both you and your live-in carer.
