Short-term relief
A real break, without the guilt.
Family caregivers in Bangalore rarely get a day off. Respite care gives you a trained stand-in, for a day, a week or a month, so you can step away knowing your loved one is in good hands.
- Cover from a single day up to a full month
- Travel, work trips, weddings and recovery from your own illness
- Flexible 12-hour or 24-hour live-in shifts
- Extend or shorten cover as your plans change
The handover
Your routine, followed to the letter.
You have spent months building a routine that works. Our respite caregiver starts with a detailed handover briefing from you, so nothing changes for your loved one.
- Structured handover briefing with the family carer before you leave
- Written routine notes, meals, medication times, preferences, dislikes
- Overlap day available so the caregiver settles in while you are still home
- Daily WhatsApp updates while you are away
Same standards
Short-term cover, long-term quality.
Respite caregivers come from the same verified, trained pool as our long-term placements, there is no “temp” tier of quality.
- Police-verified, background-checked caregivers
- Trained in elder care, hygiene support and safe mobility assistance
- Experience with dementia, post-surgery and bedridden care available
- Free replacement if the caregiver isn’t the right fit
Caregiver wellbeing
Because burnout helps no one, least of all them.
Exhausted family caregivers make mistakes, fall ill and lose patience. Regular respite is not a luxury, it is how good care stays good.
- Recurring respite slots, a weekend a month, or a fixed weekly day off
- Emergency respite when the family carer falls ill suddenly
- A pressure-free way to trial professional care before going long-term
- Smooth conversion to a long-term caregiver if you decide to continue
How a booking works
Five steps, from call to handover back.
Respite care lives or dies on the handover. The process is built around getting that part right.
- 1
Tell us the dates and the needs
The condition, the daily routine, what your loved one can and cannot do alone, and any dementia, mobility or continence concerns. Honest detail here is what makes the cover work.
- 2
We match for the specific case
A caregiver with the relevant experience, dementia, post-surgery, bedridden care, whatever your situation calls for. Booking a few days ahead gives us more caregivers to choose from than a same-week request.
- 3
The handover briefing
You walk the caregiver through the routine and we capture it in writing: medicines and timings, meals, sleep, toileting, what calms your loved one. An overlap day, with you still at home, is available and worth taking.
- 4
While you are away
The caregiver follows the routine as written, sends daily updates, and works within decision boundaries you set before leaving: what they may handle alone, and what always needs your call.
- 5
The handover back
When you return, you get a proper account: what was eaten, how nights went, anything that changed, anything worth watching. You resume informed, rather than reconstructing the week from guesswork.
While you are away
Who handles what in your absence.
A respite caregiver’s job is to hold the line, keeping everything the way you run it, until you are back.
The respite caregiver
Keeps the routine you built, without redesigning it. Personal care, meals, medication reminders, mobility support and company, done the way your loved one is used to. If clinical tasks like injections or dressings are part of the week, those stay with the visiting nurse.
Nurses and doctors
Scheduled nurse visits and doctor appointments continue unchanged. The caregiver accompanies where you would have, and reports back to you the same day.
You, before you leave
Set three things in writing: who the local backup contact is, which decisions need your call, and what counts as an emergency for this person. In anything urgent, the caregiver calls the doctor or an ambulance first, then you.
Worth weighing
The choices behind a good booking.
12-hour or 24-hour cover
If another family member sleeps at home, a 12-hour day shift usually covers the gap. Book 24-hour cover when the house will be empty, or when night needs, toileting, wandering, repositioning, are part of the routine.
Taking the overlap day, or skipping it
The overlap day costs you one more day of cover, and for dementia or high-dependency care it earns its keep many times over. Skipping it is reasonable for an independent senior who mainly needs company and meals.
Regular respite, or only in emergencies
A fixed monthly weekend off costs more over a year than booking nothing, and it is the difference between a rested carer and one running on fumes. Emergency-only respite also means accepting whoever is available at short notice rather than the best match.
A relative standing in, or a professional
For company and meals, a relative works well and costs nothing. If the routine includes transfers, incontinence care or dementia behaviour, an untrained stand-in tends to struggle by day two, and the routine you built starts to slip.
