Types of Care
Personalised care for you.
We work closely with family members to ensure care is suitable for your needs. Care plans evolve as needs change, enabling us to provide appropriate support at every stage.
Respite
Caring for someone with an illness or long-term condition can be exhausting. It’s important to share the load, yet caregivers often forget to look after themselves, leading to fatigue and burn-out. Cherish Respite can help.
Our staff provide professional care and support, in your own home, allowing you the opportunity to take a break and recharge. Your loved one gets to remain in their own environment, with familiar surroundings. In many cases, this support is warmly welcomed by the patient, as they may be feeling concerned about your welfare!
Cherish Respite staff are matched to you and your family, and strive to ensure all physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs are being met. We are committed to enhancing quality of life, and to supporting patients and their families, throughout every stage of this journey. Talk to us about how we can support you.
Palliative / End of Life
When facing a life-limiting illness, comfort, dignity, and quality of life matter more than ever. Cherish Respite provides holistic, compassionate care in the place you feel safest and most comfortable – your own home.
You don’t need to do this alone. Our experienced carers and nurses can be there beside you, offering support and reassurance, throughout every stage of this journey.
We work alongside families and healthcare providers to manage symptoms, while providing emotional and practical support. Being at home maximises the patient's sense of comfort and security, allowing them more quality time with the people that most matter.
Dementia
At Cherish Respite, we understand the unique challenges of memory loss and cognitive decline.
For those living with dementia, our professional carers offer companionship, emotional support, and assistance with daily tasks. Having consistent, compassionate care brings peace of mind for the client and their families. Our carers work to build a safe, reassuring relationship with their clients.
Those caring for others often forget about themselves, but it's so important that their needs are being met too. Cherish Respite can step into the carer role to give you a well-deserved break. This may be for just a few hours a week, with the option of expanding on this if needed. No one can pour from an empty cup, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
