Respite Care

Nurse-Led • CQC-Registered • Safe Continuity of Care

Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful roles a family member can take on, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Every carer needs time to rest, recharge, or manage their own life responsibilities.

Respite care is not “a break from care” — it is care that protects both the person being supported and the person doing the caring.

At Ola Prestige Care Services, respite care provides short-term, reliable support that ensures your loved one remains safe, cared for, and treated with dignity while you take a well-earned break.

Respite care only works when it feels calm, familiar, and safe. Families often fear disruption, changes to routine, unfamiliar approaches, or their loved one feeling unsettled. Our role is to make respite feel like a continuation of care, not a replacement.

Care is delivered in line with existing routines, preferences, and communication styles, protecting dignity and emotional wellbeing, particularly for people living with dementia, anxiety, sensory loss, disability, or long-term health conditions.

Support during respite can include personal care, medication support in line with agreed plans, companionship, and practical help with daily living, all provided at a comfortable, unhurried pace.

Respite can be arranged for a few visits or a short period, and can adapt if circumstances change. Oversight is maintained so risks such as falls, missed medication, distress, or changes in condition are identified early, with families informed calmly if needed.

As a nurse-led, CQC-registered provider, respite care is delivered with professional oversight, ensuring care remains safe, accountable, and consistent without becoming clinical or impersonal.

Respite care is not a failure.
It is a necessary part of sustainable caring.
