Although caring for a loved one is your utmost priority, we understand how emotionally and physically demanding it can be.
Live-in respite care gives you the opportunity to take a short break safe in the knowledge that your loved one is cared for. We do everything we can to maintain your established routines and we welcome any advice on how best to keep things calm and comforting while you’re away.
It doesn’t always mean that your loved one stays at home with a carer while you take time away. Sometimes, it means that we take on the jobs so you can spend time relaxing together.
Respite care is a sensible option when your loved one is recovering after an operation or a fall. If they need urgent care while getting back to full strength, it’s much more comforting to recuperate in their own home. You’ve got your favourite food, the bed’s just how you like it and when you’re feeling up to it, we positively encourage as many visitors as you want!
In order to show up best for ourselves and our loved ones, everyone needs a break. So, if you’ve been the primary carer for your loved one, respite care can bring plenty of benefits for both of you:
Our priority is always getting to know you and your loved one. After all, you’ve been the one caring for them, so we welcome any advice that’ll make your loved one more comfortable. By taking the time to understand the situation, we can match your loved one with a carer that they’ll form a strong friendship with.
At Ashridge Home Care, we’re rated as Outstanding in Caring by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), with all of our carers being trained in-house, so you can rest assured that your loved one is in safe hands.
Our aim is to provide flexibility and freedom with respite care, meaning everyone is at their best.
At Ashridge, we understand that everyone’s different with a variety of different needs and care requirements. This is why we discuss everything in detail beforehand, so we can provide your loved one with the comprehensive care they need. Our live-in care service covers:

“In January this year my 90 year old Mum, who has dementia, had the latest of many falls in her flat. We decided that she should move in with us. We had a ski holiday booked and thought of cancelling when we met a member of staff from Ashridge Home Care. Our concerns vanished overnight. Regular phone calls to our daughter filled us with confidence that Mum was well, medicine compliant and happy. Ashridge Home Care were excellent and we are using them again in October. We would highly recommend them”
Choosing care is a huge decision and not something that you should take lightly. Some of these conversations can be tricky and it’s our job to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.
We are more than happy to visit you and your family at home to discuss your situation and consider the options available to you.
