Respite Care
in Bournemouth
Professional in-home respite care designed around you, giving you and other carers a well-deserved break
Helping People Live Comfortably Across Bournemouth
No two families are the same. Whether you need a couple of hours to attend an appointment, a full night's sleep or cover while you take a well earned holiday, our carers step in so that daily routines carry on exactly as your loved one is used to.
Because care takes place at home, there is no unsettling move to a care home or unfamiliar surroundings. Your loved one keeps their own bed, their own belongings and their own routine, while you gain time to rest and recover so you can be fully present as you continue to care for them.
Care With Companionship
Our carers take the time to get to know your loved one. Their stories and the little things that make them smile. The places they love to visit across Bournemouth. The music and hobbies that bring them joy in their quiet moments. The way they take their cup of tea.
Every person we care for is different and interesting, and we always wrap our care services in companionship so time spent with our team is something to look forward to.
Who is Respite Care For?
Caring for a loved one is a deeply rewarding role, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care provides relief for any full time carer who needs some relief. Whatever your situation, we will first speak with you about your requirements and how both you and your loved one could benefit from respite care. A plan is then built around you.
Our respite care in Bournemouth is for:
- Family members and partners who provide full time care and need regular time to rest
- Working carers who need reliable cover during office hours or shifts
- Carers who are unwell, recovering from surgery, or facing a family emergency
- Families who want to go on holiday
- Anyone living with dementia, Parkinson's, frailty or a long term, degenerative condition
- Anyone returning home from hospital who needs additional support through recovery

How Respite Care Supports the Whole Family
Tender Care Services have supported families across Bournemouth during difficult and devastating transitions. We are proud to have assisted each and every one of them by providing vital, sustained support. If you are considering respite care, we can provide the following to you:
Time to recharge: If you are reaching the point where burnout and exhaustion are commonplace, and you are concerned about leaving your loved one with the right people, we can provide regular breaks with the assurance that they are cared for to the standards with which we would care for our own.
Peace of mind: With Tender Care Services, you know your loved one is with a trained, trusted carer who follows their care plan and adjusts to meet their changing needs.
Comfort and familiarity: Your loved one stays in their own home, with their own routine and belongings, reducing any discomfort or instability even as the way they perceive the world around them changes.
Fresh company: A new face and new conversation can alleviate feelings of loneliness that often sit alongside conditions that reduce their independence.
Stronger relationships: With time to rest without guilt, you can return to being a child, partner, sibling, friend, or parent, and give more energy and attention to your loved one in care.
A gentle introduction to care: Short respite visits help your loved one adjust to support at home, should they need more help in future.
Are You Entitled to Additional Support as a Carer?
Under the Care Act 2014, any unpaid carer can ask Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council for a free carer's assessment. This assessment identifies how caring impacts you and aims to provide practical and financial support without judgement or obligation.
