At Capillary Healthcare, we believe caring for others is one of the most extraordinary superpowers a
person can have—but even superheroes need a chance
to rest and recharge.
Our Respite Care services give you that well-earned break without a shred of
guilt. Whether you need an afternoon to run errands
without a cape, a weekend to catch your breath, or just a few peaceful hours to remember what silence
sounds like, we’re here to make sure your loved one is
safe, happy, and maybe even having more fun than you.
Think of us as your friendly sidekicks—here to swoop in whenever you need backup. We’ll bring the compassion, the good humour, and possibly an endless supply of snacks.
Besides Absolutely Glorious.
Respite Care is short-term support that gives you, the carer, time to rest, relax, and recharge. It
can happen in your home, out in the community, or even
overnight—so you can take a guilt-free breather while we keep everything running smoothly.
We step in to help with daily activities like meal preparation, personal care, or simply providing
companionship and a few good laughs. Whether it’s a planned
holiday, an unexpected event, or a “please get me out of here before I start talking to the toaster”
moment, we’re ready to lend a hand (and maybe a sense of
humour).
When you trust us with respite care, you’re choosing a team that knows how to balance professionalism with warmth—and isn’t afraid to crack a few jokes to keep spirits high. We treat every person in our care like family (the nice kind of family who help with the dishes and don’t judge your choice of TV shows).
Our support workers are not only trained and experienced but also handpicked for their kindness, reliability, and uncanny ability to remember everyone’s favourite snacks. You can step away knowing your loved one is in safe hands—and possibly making you a little jealous of all the fun they’re having.
Getting started with respite is as easy as deciding which break you want first. Just reach out to our team, and we’ll help you create a plan that suits your schedule and your loved one’s needs.
Whether you prefer regular respite sessions or one-off stays, we’ll work with you to make it happen—no stress, no judgement, and absolutely no guilt trips.
“I was nervous about leaving my son with anyone, but Capillary Healthcare made us both feel at ease right away. I came home to find them building a Lego city and laughing their heads off.”
