Respite Care
Respite care is a short-term care package provided by someone other than your loved one's regular caregiver. At Trent Home Care, respite care takes place in the comfort of their own home, allowing you, as their primary caregiver, to take some time to rest.
We understand that to provide the very best care for your loved one, you also need to care for yourself.
Taking time to rest and recharge is crucial, and having a trustworthy caregiver to look after your loved one gives you the peace of mind you need to take that much-needed break.
​
How can respite care help?
​
Having a reliable caregiver support your loved one allows you the time to take care of yourself. You can tend to your personal errands, have some time out of the house, and recharge both mentally and physically. This added support empowers you to take better care of your loved one.
​
​Short breaks can benefit not only yourself but also the person you care for, offering a chance to do something different and interact with new people.
