Person centred support
Respite Care from AVA Care Services
Respite care gives family carers time to rest, attend appointments or manage other responsibilities while their loved one receives safe support.
Who this service may help
- Family carers who need planned breaks.
- People who need support while a main carer is unavailable.
- Families who want flexible support during busy or difficult periods.
How we support
- We agree the support needed before the visit begins.
- We maintain the person’s normal routine as much as possible.
- We provide reassurance and update family members where agreed.
What this support may include
Short visits or longer support
Planned family carer relief
Continuity of routine
Clear communication before and after visits
Our approach
Support that is planned, respectful and reviewed.
We work respectfully with the person, their family and involved professionals. Support is reviewed so it remains safe, relevant and proportionate as needs change.
What families can expect
Families can expect clear communication, professional conduct and support that respects the person’s home, preferences, routines and privacy.
Outcome we work towards
The aim is to give families confidence that their loved one is supported while carers take necessary time away.
