Respite & Temporary Care
Short-Term Support When You Need It Most
Respite & Temporary Care
Caring for a loved one is deeply rewarding—but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. At Greenways Live-in Care, we offer flexible respite and temporary care services designed to give primary carers a much-needed break, or to provide short-term care during times of change or recovery.
Whether you need cover for a few days, a few weeks, or longer, we’re here to step in with compassionate, professional care—so you can rest, recover, or focus on other priorities with peace of mind.
What Is Respite & Temporary Care?
Respite care is short-term care designed to relieve family carers or help during times when regular care isn’t available.
Temporary care supports individuals recovering from illness, surgery, or hospital discharge—or those who need extra help during a transitional period.
We can provide this support at home, so your loved one remains in familiar surroundings, with the right level of help in place.
When Respite or Temporary Care Can Help:
Covering for a family carer who is ill, on holiday, or taking a break
Supporting recovery after surgery or hospital discharge
Providing care during family emergencies
Helping trial home care before committing to longer-term services
Offering short-term live-in care when additional support is needed
Our Services Include:
Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)

Mobility assistance and transfers
Meal preparation and help with eating
Companionship and emotional reassurance
Overnight, live-in, or hourly visits available
Complex care (e.g., catheter care, PEG feeding) where required
We can tailor a short-term care plan that meets your exact needs and preferences.
