How can we support families with respite care?

We're going to be brutally honest here, being a full-time carer for a friend or family member is not for the faint-hearted. You can get frustrated with your loved one, your loved one can get frustrated with you, not to mention how hard it is having your loved one depend on you and the often crippling weight of responsibility.

Unlike us care providers, families that provide care don't tend to get days off, annual leave or breaks. The one thing we always say to our staff, and we will say it to you too: How can you meet other people's needs if you don't meet your own?  Never feel guilty or ashamed of needing a break, its healthy for both you and your loved one. It also a great opportunity to test the waters, and see how you both would cope with a care company, before introducing a permanent care package.

MoralCare provides professional respite care services across Morecambe and surrounding areas, offering temporary relief and support for family carers whilst ensuring your loved one receives the highest quality care at home. Our experienced, CQC-registered care team understands the importance of giving family carers the break they need and deserve.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care provides temporary professional care support, allowing family carers to take a well-deserved break whilst knowing their loved one is in safe, capable hands. Whether you need a few hours to attend appointments, a day to rest and recharge, or longer periods for holidays, our respite services are designed to support both you and your loved one.

Our compassionate care team seamlessly steps in to provide the same level of care and attention your family member is accustomed to, maintaining their routine and comfort in familiar surroundings.
