Understanding Emergency Respite Care

Emergency respite care is a temporary solution arranged at short notice to provide relief for primary carers and ensure Members receive the support they require during unforeseen circumstances. This service is available within our residences, offering a blend of clinical expertise and redefined luxury hospitality, highly tailored to each Member’s needs.

Whether you require support for a few hours or several weeks, Loveday’s emergency respite care adapts to your situation, ensuring continuity and comfort for both Members and their families.

How Loveday Delivers Emergency Respite Care

Loveday offers a range of emergency respite care options, each designed to meet the unique needs of our Members:

1. Emergency Live-In Care

A dedicated carer provides round-the-clock support within the Member’s own home or one of our residences. This option is ideal for those who require intensive care or prefer minimal disruption to their daily routine.

2. Emergency Visiting Care

A carer visits the Member’s home for a set number of hours each day. This flexible solution supports medication management, personal care, and companionship, making it suitable for Members who are more independent but still need support.

3. Emergency Residential Respite Care

For Members who require constant supervision or complex clinical care, short-term stays in one of our residences are available. These properties offer a supportive environment, bespoke programmes, and access to expert Colleagues.
