Respite Care Services UK

Flexible, Compassionate Relief for Families and Carers at Home

At Yorkshire and Humber Healthcare Alliance (YHHA), we provide reliable, person-centred respite care services in UK, giving families and caregivers essential breaks from their responsibilities. Whether you need support for a few hours, a weekend, or a longer period, our CQC-registered home care team is here to ensure continuity, safety, and comfort for your loved ones.

Respite care at home means your loved one stays in the environment they know and love—while you take time to rest, recharge, or manage other commitments with peace of mind.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is temporary, short-term care provided to individuals so that their regular caregiver—whether a family member or professional—can take a break from their duties. This vital support ensures that care needs continue to be met without interruption, while also safeguarding the health and well-being of caregivers.

Respite care can range from:

  • A few hours of care during the day

  • Overnight support

  • Weekend or holiday cover

  • Emergency care in unforeseen situations

  • Longer-term planned breaks

Our respite care services in Yorkshire are flexible, respectful, and available across a wide range of conditions and age groups.

Who Is Respite Care For?

Respite care can be a lifeline for:

  • Family caregivers who provide daily support and need time off

  • Parents of children with complex or special needs

  • Spouses of elderly individuals living with conditions such as dementia or Parkinson’s

  • People recovering from surgery or illness whose usual carer is temporarily unavailable

We support adults, children, and older people across Yorkshire and the Humber, with both short- and long-term respite options.
