From Canton and Roath to Llandaff, Whitchurch and Llanrumney, Cardiff has many families caring for a relative at home. Respite care gives you a break so you can keep caring for longer.
Regular home care visits give carers dependable time off each week, and companionship care suits someone who mainly needs company and light help. When you need a longer break, live in care or a short stay in one of the care homes in and around Cardiff provides 24 hour support.
In Wales, carers have a right to a carer’s needs assessment. Cardiff Council can carry this out and point you to local carers’ support, which may include help with the cost of breaks.
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.
