It is a fact that close family members, friends and neighbours help in aiding an elderly person or a child with disabilities, in their own homes. This can become stressful sometimes and as human, we crave the need to get away from time to time. This is where Respite Care becomes necessary.

We at Lilicares are convinced that respite care is important for both psychological and physical needs; providing/ giving individuals a chance to take a break from it all. Offering carer’s, the necessary break that ensures continuity by offering them Carer’s time – Pampering time, while we ensure the person they normally look after, is made comfortable and cared for in their absence. It could be just for a day or two or more where necessary. Whatever the situation, you can always count on Lilicares reliability and support.

What Respite Care does

The client to stay within the comfort of his/her home

It brings another professional and friendly carer to interact with

It allows the regular carer time to attend his personal matters

Since we have different needs (due to different physical or mental problems), the nature of respite care varies as well. Thus, it could be for few hours, few days, or few weeks. A respite care plan and visit with Lilicares can include pampering with a massage therapy or:

Practical House chores – cooking, cleaning, washing, putting things in order

Medication – helping you to follow the doctors’ advice as to when and how to take the medicine

Personal care – bathing or showering, dressing, combing, helping to get in and out of bed, eating if required

Tea and Conversation – what we view as tea and conversation can be having tea and discussions. It can be watching TV, reading a book or any other activity dear to the client.
