Frequently asked questions
How much respite is realistic?
Most families start with 3–4 hours twice a week. Once the well spouse sees the person with dementia is settled, respite often grows to include a weekly day off or a monthly overnight.
Can my partner refuse the carer?
Sometimes at first. We build rapport over 2–3 short visits before any personal care, and we match on personality and interests — not just qualifications.
What about nights when my partner is up and down?
Waking night carers (11pm–7am) are available. Many spouses go from surviving to living again within a week of proper sleep.
Is live-in care an option for a week's break?
Yes — we regularly cover a spouse's week away with a matched live-in carer in Ashford. It's the option families most often say they wish they'd tried sooner.
Do you help with lasting power of attorney and forms?
We can point you to the right free advice — Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, and local council carers' assessments — and help you prepare for the conversations.
