Our services can be delivered at home or in residential care settings and often include focusing on compassionate, personalised care. These services allow caregivers to take a break, preventing burnout while ensuring the care recipient continues to receive quality care in their own home or in a dedicated care setting, and helping with daily tasks. 

Key Features of Respite Care

Flexibility: Services range from a few hours for shopping to several weeks of care, often with options for 24-hour.

Tailored Care: Plans are designed to meet individual needs, such as dementia care support, hospital discharge or post-hospital care.

Cost and Funding: Costs vary, with some services charging hourly rates in Leeds and the surrounding area or weekly, and support may be available through local councils or for eligible individuals. We also give families carers a break while ensuring the person they look after continues to receive care. In-home respite care provides temporary relief by having a trained caregiver come to your home to care for your loved one. This service allows you to take a break and recharge, knowing that the person you care for is receiving professional support in a familiar environment. This can be for numerous care types, including assisted living, residential care, dementia care. At Extra Help Leeds West, we regularly provide respite care for people in varying circumstances, not regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
