About Respite Care
Respite Care Services — Trusted Short‑Term Care Support
In the United Kingdom, around 6 million people are unpaid carers for loved ones—juggling personal commitments, careers, and emotional responsibilities.
While caregiving is rewarding, it can also be overwhelming. That’s where Respite Care comes in—a short-term care arrangement that allows primary carers to take a much-needed break, confident that their loved ones are in safe, professional hands.
At Kuremara, we provide professional and flexible respite care services designed to support individuals who need temporary care and families who need time to rest, recover, or manage other commitments.
As a trusted respite care provider, we deliver high‑quality, compassionate support either at home or through live‑in respite care, helping individuals remain safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their usual carers take a break.
What Is Respite Care?
Your trusted care partner when you need time to recharge
Respite care is short‑term, temporary care that supports individuals when their regular carer is unavailable or needs time off. It can last from a few hours to several weeks and can be delivered in different ways depending on individual needs.
Our short term respite care services are ideal for:
- Family carers needing planned or emergency breaks
- Elderly individuals recovering from illness or hospital discharge
- People living with long‑term conditions such as dementia or MS
- Families seeking reliable, professional temporary care support

Benefits of Respite Care

When families are supported, everyone thrives. That’s the power of well-timed respite care.
