Bromley is London's largest borough by area, stretching from busy town centres such as Bromley, Orpington and Beckenham out to the quieter villages of the Kent border. That spread means respite options vary a lot depending on where you live, so it helps to compare providers that cover your postcode.
Many Bromley families use home care for regular breaks, with a carer visiting during the day or staying overnight. For longer breaks, live in care and short stays in local care homes are popular, particularly for people living with dementia who settle best with continuity.
Unpaid carers in the borough can get advice, wellbeing support and help with planning breaks from the Bromley Well Carers Support Service. The London Borough of Bromley can also carry out a carer's assessment, which is the first step towards council funded respite.
Every provider listed here can be contacted directly through respite-care.co.uk. Use the filters to narrow by type of care or condition, then send a free, no obligation enquiry to the providers that suit you. If you are new to arranging a break, our guide to getting a carer’s assessment explains how to ask the council for help with the cost.
