Are you keen to discover more about our respite services?
At ACI Care, we understand the importance of caring for your loved one — but, also, taking some time out for yourself.
In this blog, we’re sharing how our respite services can help:
What Are Respite Services?
Respite services are designed to provide temporary relief to primary caregivers of individuals who require day-to-day support and assistance.
The aim of respite is to provide caregivers with a break from their responsibilities, while ensuring that the person in need of care remains in a safe, secure and happy environment, with adequate care provisions.
The length of respite care can range from a few nights to several months, depending on the requirements of the carer.
At ACI Care, you can rest assured that your loved one is in capable hands, receiving high-quality care within our home.
The Importance of Respite Services
Being a full-time carer is a demanding role and respite services have several benefits.
It can often be difficult to take the time out to look after yourself whilst caring for another person; respite care offers you the opportunity to take a well-deserved break from your caring duties.
The role of carer can, at times, feel demanding, and may lead to emotional and physical burnout. So, it’s important to take a break and recharge your mind and body.
By taking a well-deserved break, you can reduce feelings of stress, put important time into your other commitments, and refresh your mindset. This will prevent any build up of tension or resentment, ensuring your relationship with your loved one stays strong and healthy.
ACI Services
Our respite services allow you and your dear ones to enjoy all of the amenities and support that our full-time residents receive, on a short-term basis.
Individuals in our homes receive personalised assistance with daily activities such as washing, getting dressed, medication management and moving around.
Our respite services also provide individuals with the opportunity to interact with other residents and engage in group activities. Social interaction is important, as it promotes mental stimulation and improves overall emotional well-being.
Engaging with other residents can also offer emotional support and companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Supporting You With Respite Services
Throughout our care services, we aim to provide great care and great opportunities.
We want each of our residents to have the best possible experience during their stay with us, whether it’s a few weeks or months.
With a range of social events and engaging activities, our trained caregiving teams always go the extra mile in ensuring our residents’ happiness and comfort.
Each of our care homes have multiple lounge and garden areas, where residents can enjoy socialising, or sit back and have some personal time.
With trained professionals offering specialist care, you can find comfort knowing that your loved ones will receive the best quality of care at ACI Care.
We offer a safe, supervised environment for all those who visit us for respite care. This is important for those who require round-the-clock care, or assistance with personal care activities.
Our kitchen staff also provide balanced and nutritional meals to each of our residents, ensuring your loved one is receiving proper dietary care during their stay.
