Respite Home Care

Because carers need care, too.

What Is Respite Home Care?

Caring for a loved one is a beautiful act of devotion β€” but it’s also physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding. Respite home care offers temporary support so family carers can take a break, rest, attend appointments, or simply catch their breath.

Whether it’s for a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks, Fuchsia Homecare steps in with reliable, compassionate care that gives you time to focus on you.

Who Is Respite Care For?

Respite care is ideal for:

  • Family carers who need short-term relief or time away

  • Emergency situations, such as illness or unexpected travel

  • Post-hospital support, when family needs time to adjust

  • Trial care, if you’re considering long-term professional support

No matter the reason β€” we’re here to help you take a well-deserved pause without worry.

What We Can Help With

While you rest or travel, we’ll provide tailored support including:

  • Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)

  • Medication reminders or administration

  • Mobility assistance and safe transfers

  • Meal preparation and hydration

  • Companionship and conversation

  • Escorting to appointments or social activities

  • Light housekeeping and safety monitoring

We follow your existing care routines to ensure comfort, consistency, and peace of mind.

We offer several types of respite care:

Hourly visits (minimum time applies)
