Respite-Care.co.uk is a UK directory that helps families and unpaid carers find respite care near them. You can search by town or postcode, compare home care, live in care, care homes and nursing homes offering short breaks, and contact providers directly. It is free for families to use.
Respite-Care.co.uk was set up by Liam, who has worked in UK adult social care for over fifteen years as a trainer, Registered Manager, Operations Director and CEO of home care and retirement care services. He set up the site to make it easier for families to find trusted short breaks when they need them most.
Search for home care, live in care, care homes and nursing homes offering respite in your area, save the ones you like to your shortlist and send a free enquiry or call the provider. We also cover specialist support such as dementia respite care.
Our guides for families explain what respite care is, how a carer’s assessment works, how respite can be funded and how to choose a provider.
We do not provide care, employ carers or inspect services. Before you arrange care, check the provider’s latest inspection report with the CQC in England, the Care Inspectorate in Scotland, Care Inspectorate Wales or the RQIA in Northern Ireland. You can read how we work with listed providers on our governance page.
