Companionship care
We carefully match caregivers with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Respite care at home
Our respite care provides support for older people and their carers, whether it is required in an emergency, on a regular or one-off basis. It is estimated there are millions of people in the UK caring for loved ones, many giving substantial hours of care each week.
We are here to help
At Naptec we understand that it is important you take a break from time to time, which is where our respite care at home service can help.
You do not have to shoulder all the care responsibilities alone. Our caregivers can help care for your loved one whilst you have a well-deserved break and are able to keep an appointment, enjoy a holiday or attend a special occasion. It is important to look after your own well-being too, and with our respite care service you can be confident that your loved one is safe, happy and well cared for at home.
The regular demands of caring can lead to feelings of exhaustion, so it is important to recognise when you need a break. Taking a rest from caring by using a respite service means taking care of your health and wellbeing so you can continue to care.
Our respite care service is beneficial in many ways:
- Your loved one can stay at home whilst you take a break
- It gives you peace of mind that your loved one is being cared for at home
- It is tailored to your loved one's needs
- You are able to take a rest from caring
- It is delivered by caregivers matched to you and your loved one
- It is given by highly trained and experienced caregivers

FAQs
Respite care provides temporary relief to primary caregivers by offering trained caregivers who care for elderly individuals who require care. This temporary support helps caregivers take breaks, manage burnout, and maintain their own well-being while ensuring the safety and comfort of the person receiving ongoing care.
Trained caregivers can step in to provide seamless care, allowing current caregivers a break to rest and recharge. Our respite care services take place in the home of the person receiving the care, so they can continue their normal life while you take a break.
Contact Naptec and we will arrange a discussion with you to talk about the kind of support you need and how we can help.
All respite care is provided by our experienced and fully trained caregivers so both the elderly individual receiving care and their loved ones can take a break with confidence.

A respite period is a specific duration of time during which primary caregivers receive temporary relief from their caregiving responsibilities. The length can vary, ranging from a few hours to several days, depending on the arrangement and the needs of the primary caregivers.
Respite care is crucial for family caregivers, offering them a much-needed break from their responsibilities. This temporary relief prevents caregiver burnout and helps maintain wellbeing and the ability to provide effective long-term care.
The cost of respite care can vary widely based on factors such as location, the level and complexity of care provided, and the duration. Contact us or your local council to understand potential sources of financial support available for your situation.
Respite care funding can come from government initiatives, charitable organisations, insurance provision, or personal payments. Family caregivers can investigate these avenues to identify the most fitting approach for their needs.
Respite care for dementia is a specialised service designed to provide temporary relief to caregivers of people living with dementia or Alzheimer's. Our domiciliary approach to deliver respite care at home is often the best solution to keep them calm and comfortable in a familiar environment.
