Respite care at Home

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term care service designed to support individuals while their primary carer takes time away. This may be for a few hours, a few days, or even longer depending on your needs. Our trained and friendly carers provide continuity, safety, and comfort in the familiar surroundings of home, ensuring your loved one receives high-quality care while you take time for yourself. At FDS Divine Care Ltd, respite care is about supporting the whole family, not just the individual receiving care.
