Quality Respite Care for You or Your Loved Ones
- Expert respite care at home tailored to your needs
- Dedicated Care Assistants providing consistent, compassionate support
- Highly-rated and fully-regulated homecare provider in your community
We give families across Sutton, Epsom and the wider Mid-Surrey area the reassurance to take a step back when they need to. While you rest, we provide compassionate care that keeps daily life steady and respectful for the person you love.
Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful roles a person can take on. But it can also be demanding, and even the most devoted family members need time to pause. Respite care isn’t about stepping away — it’s about making sure your loved one continues to live well at home while you take the time you need to rest.
Tailored Respite Care & Support: What We Offer
Every respite arrangement is shaped around the individual. For some, it may mean companionship that keeps the day reassuring. For others, it could be support with mobility or the transition home after a hospital stay. For those living with conditions such as dementia or Parkinson’s, our trained Carers provide care that feels consistent and calm.
Whatever the need, our focus is on enabling people to live well — not just in terms of safety, but in comfort and with dignity. For families, respite care offers the freedom to rest, knowing their loved one is in trusted hands.
Staying Connected to the Community
We know how important it is for Clients to maintain a sense of purpose and connection. Our Carers support Clients to attend local groups or enjoy simple outings across Sutton, Epsom, and Mid-Surrey.
For example, some of our respite Clients enjoy walks through Nonsuch Park or Oaks Park, visits to Bourne Hall Museum, or afternoons at Banstead Commons or the Honeywood Museum in Carshalton. Whether it’s a gentle stroll, a coffee with friends, or exploring local history, we tailor support to your interests and abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does respite care cost in Sutton & Mid-Surrey?
The cost of respite care depends on the level and duration of support. We’ll provide a free homecare assessment to recommend the most suitable and cost-effective option for your needs.
You may be eligible for financial support from Sutton Council or Surrey County Council, depending on where you live. Local authority funding for respite care is means-tested and may be available as direct payments or arranged services. We’re happy to guide you through the process.
What is the difference between respite homecare and residential respite care?
Respite care usually falls into two main types: respite care at home or in a residential setting.
With home-based respite care, a trained Carer visits in the comfort of the Client’s home.
Residential respite care involves a short stay in a care home or nursing facility. Choosing between the two depends on the individual’s needs and preferences.
What happens if you need more long-term support?
Sometimes, a person’s care needs can change. You may find that respite care is no longer enough if needs become more complex or if there are increasing concerns about safety and wellbeing.
If this happens, we are here to guide you through the options. Our team can help you review your situation and create a longer-term care plan that ensures your loved one continues to receive the high-quality, compassionate support they deserve.
What are the benefits of respite care at home?
Respite care at home offers a range of important benefits for individuals living with conditions such as dementia, supporting both their wellbeing and quality of life while their usual family carer takes a break:
- Familiar surroundings: Staying in the comfort of their own home helps reduce confusion, anxiety, and distress.
- Personalised support: Our respite care is tailored to each individual’s needs, preferences, and daily routines.
- Consistency and continuity: Wherever possible, we ensure regular Carers deliver respite care, helping to build trust.
- Early support and prevention: Attentive care at home can enable changes in health to be recognised earlier.
- Relief and reassurance for families: Respite care offers family carers time to rest with peace of mind.
- Maintaining independence: With sensitive support, people who require homecare can continue enjoying everyday life.
How long can you have respite care for?
Respite care can be for a short period or a number of weeks.
We offer short-term and long-term homecare agreements, offering support for a regular Carer. You may require respite care to cover a Carer’s time off, holidays or day trips.
Our social care and support can be arranged as one-off or regular visits. Rather than holiday cover, you may require respite care for a day a week, on a regular basis. There’s no strict limit to how long you can have respite homecare for.
However long it lasts, we aim to make the temporary change in circumstances as easy for you as possible.
What happens if my condition changes?
We regularly review all Care & Support Plans to make sure they remain suitable. If your recovery progresses or your needs change, we’ll adjust the plan accordingly. Our aim is to provide the right level of support at every stage of your recovery.
Who qualifies for respite care?
Respite care is suitable for people of all ages who usually receive care or rely on friends and family every day. Whilst we often provide respite care for elderly people, our services are not exclusive to older people.
