Respite care is usually a short-term package of care from someone who isn’t your loved one's regular carer. Respite care from Sena Care would take place in their own home and allow you, as their usual carer, time to rest and take care of yourself so you are better able to take care of them.

At SenaCare we understand that for you to provide the very best care to your loved one, you also need to take good care of yourself. Time to rest and recharge is essential, as is having someone you can trust look after your loved one. Our reliable, compassionate care assistants are fully trained, giving you the peace of mind you need to take that much needed break.

There are multiple benefits, not only for yourself, but your loved one as well:

• Reduced levels of stress for both you and your loved one, help to maintain a healthy relationship.
• Relieved frustrations and possible feelings of resentment.
• More time for you to interact with family and friends or the wider community.
• Provides you with the opportunity to work, study, have a day-off or even go on holiday.
• Your loved one could benefit from interacting with other carers, new stimuli and a possible change to their usual routine.

Our Respite Care service is flexible and is tailored to your individual needs. Our care options include:

Short-term packages – for example if you are looking to take a holiday

Longer-term regular visits – allowing you to take a regular break to rest and recharge such as a daily or weekly visit.
