Available arrangements
MoreLoved Care can consider approved in-home, daytime, community, evening, overnight or extended short-break arrangements. The exact model, location, duration and staffing are confirmed through assessment and current capacity.
Care and support
Short breaks planned around the person, not only the break
Respite should be positive and safe for the person receiving support as well as helpful for the family or unpaid carer. We agree what the person will do, how routines will be maintained and what support is required during the planned period.
Who this is for
People receiving care, family carers, parents and professional referrers

Planning covers Personal care, medication, meals, mobility, communication, activities, sleep, behaviour or distress support, access, emergencies, family contact and professional instructions. We also agree what the family or usual carer will and will not be responsible for during the break.
A familiar and meaningful experience
Where possible, the break should reflect the person’s interests and routines. Staff should know what helps the person feel comfortable, what may cause anxiety and how the person communicates choices or distress.
For family and unpaid carers
We provide clear confirmation of dates, responsibilities, contact routes and what happens if the person’s needs change. A short break should not rely on vague assumptions or leave the family uncertain about who is doing what.
Suitability and limits
Some requests may require equipment, two staff, clinical support, a different setting or specialist provision. We explain honestly where the requested arrangement cannot be met within our homecare service.
