Respite Care Services in Blackpool

Trusted Respite Care for Family Carers

Caring for a loved one is a deeply rewarding experience, but it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting. At Apollo Care Blackpool, we offer Respite Care services that give family carers the chance to rest, recharge, and take care of their own wellbeing, knowing their loved one is in safe, compassionate hands.

Whether you need a few hours, a day, or longer-term support, our respite care is flexible, reliable, and delivered by carers who genuinely care.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is temporary care provided to someone who normally receives support from a family member or informal carer. It allows the primary carer to take a break while ensuring the individual continues to receive high-quality care at home.

Respite care can include:

Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)

Medication support

Companionship

Meal preparation

Mobility assistance

Overnight or live-in care

Who Is Respite Care For?

Respite care is ideal for:

Family carers who need time off for rest, work, or holidays
Individuals recovering from illness or surgery
People with long-term conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s, or mobility issues
Anyone needing temporary support at home

We tailor each respite care package to suit your needs, whether it’s a one-off visit or a regular arrangement.
