Respite Care provides temporary support when your regular caregivers are unavailable. It is a temporary facility provided by care professionals for many types of care including assisted living, residential care, types of dementia care, and nursing. It is ideal when the regular caregiver needs a break or needs short term support.
At Smile Healthcare we provide respite care to people in a variety of circumstances, all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Some of the most common times people need respite care include:
If they have advanced dementia and are unable to be left alone
If someone has severe physical needs and requires constant aid
If an individual is in their final days and are receiving palliative care.
If an individual is in their final days and are receiving palliative care.

At Smile Health Care, we firmly believe that home is the best place to get the care you need. We specialize in delivering care with compassion. Plus, our care packages are person-centred, so we can safely say we are experts at providing meaningful support that makes a real difference. These are just a few of the many benefits of respite home care:
Respite care at home allows you to keep living life on your own terms, meaning you can continue doing the activities and routines you enjoy
Whether you’ve had an accident, are recovering from surgery or have been discharged from hospital, we’ll support you in your hour of need
Respite care allows your normal carer to take a well-deserved break, meaning that when they return they’ll be refreshed and re-energised
We know that you might like things to be done in a certain way, so we’ll make sure you continue to get the type of home care you’re used to
You’ll be able to continue enjoying your favourite routines and hobbies without worrying about being left unsupported or isolated.
Staying at home for respite care means you’ll still be able to see loved ones whenever you wish, including visiting them with the help of your carer.
Respite care provides your main carer with a temporary break while ensuring your care needs are met. We offer respite care on both a visiting and live-in basis; you can find out more about each type below.
