Kinds of respite care

At home: a carer visits for a few hours so you can go out, or stays for a few days or weeks (live-in respite) while you go away. In a care home: a short stay of a week or two, often booked well ahead for holidays. Of the 4 CQC-registered care homes in Hadfield, ask which accept short stays. Day centres run by the council or charities are another option.

Your right to a carer's assessment

  • Who: anyone caring for someone else.

Booking respite privately

If you pay yourself, ask agencies for their minimum visit length and notice period, and care homes whether they keep rooms for short stays. For a care home, arrange a visit beforehand and share the care plan, medication list and routines so the stay goes smoothly.

Questions about respite care in Hadfield

Where can I find respite care in Hadfield?

Ask each agency: CQC keeps no record of who provides respite care. Of the 38 registered agencies that have an office within 7 miles of Hadfield, 21 are rated Good or Outstanding.

Can respite care be paid for by the council?

Start with a carer's assessment from Derbyshire council: eligible carers can have breaks arranged or funded. Separately, look for sitting services from carers' centres and charities that are free or cheap.

How far ahead should we book respite in a care home?

Give several weeks where possible, more around school holidays. Ask on the first call whether the home holds rooms back for short stays, as not all do.

Are home care agencies in Hadfield well rated?

21 of the 24 rated agencies (88%) are Good or Outstanding; 31 list dementia as a specialism and 2 were inspected or rated in the last two years.
