If you care for a parent, partner or relative, you deserve time to rest. Our carers can step in at home in Tipton and across Sandwell while you recharge.
Looking after someone is rewarding but tiring. Respite care at home means a trusted carer looks after your relative in their own home while you rest, go to appointments, work or see friends.
Your relative stays in familiar surroundings with their routine intact, which many families prefer to a stay away from home.
Some families need a few hours each week. Others need a regular sitting service, where a carer stays with an older relative while you go out. Some need cover for a longer period. Tell us what you need and we will agree a plan.
Companionship, meals, personal care and company are all part of the visit, depending on your relative’s needs.
If you care for someone unpaid, you can ask Sandwell Council for a free carer’s assessment, which looks at your own needs and whether support could help you. You can contact us at any point to talk through what respite at home could look like.
The first step is a free, no-obligation consultation. We visit you at home, listen to what matters to you, and build a care plan with you and your family. We then introduce one or two carers chosen for compatibility, not just availability. For most clients, care can begin within a few days of the consultation, and sooner in urgent situations.
Other ways we can help: Personal care at home · Dementia care · Care for older people · Care after a hospital stay · Physical disability support.
Areas we cover: Tipton, Sandwell, West Bromwich, Wednesbury and Dudley.
Call 0121 226 3521 or send us a message. We will arrange a free consultation, agree how much cover you need and introduce your carer.
Yes. A sitting service lets a carer stay with your relative for a few hours while you go out, and can include company, a drink or meal, and personal care if needed.
We can often move quickly, depending on availability. Tell us your timeline when you contact us.
Some carers are eligible for council support following a carer’s assessment, and some people arrange respite privately. We can talk through the options.
