Accessing Respite Care
Through Your Local Council
You might be able to get some extra support through your local council, which could make a real difference for both you and your loved one. To get started, simply request an assessment to explore the kind of help that would work best for your needs. The council will look at your situation and may suggest options like in-home support, day programs, or even short-term stays. This could range from fully funded care that they arrange on your behalf, to an allowance giving you the freedom to select your own care provider, such as us.
If you’re feeling unsure about where to begin or have questions, we’re here to help guide you through it all and chat about any support or funding that might be available.

Funding for
Respite Care
There are also options for financial help with respite care through your local council or various charities, which may offer funding or lower-cost care options.
We’re registered with involvekent.org.uk, a wonderful organisation focused on easing the costs for carers. This support can help cover respite care expenses, making it a bit easier to get the help you need when you need it most.
Will Respite Care Affect My Benefits?
In most cases, receiving at-home respite care won’t impact your social benefits. However, certain benefits like Carer’s Allowance might be affected if respite care hours exceed specific limits.
Always check with your benefits office to ensure you’re fully informed about any possible effects.
“Even though I am the carer of my husband since 2019, this care was for me! I had to come out of hospital after ten days with pneumonia and then a stroke and I was in need of support. I certainly got this from All About Home Care.”
