Our respite care professionals support clients across:
“Knowing Mum was safe, happy, and cared for in her own home meant I could finally relax. It wasn’t just a break – it was the reassurance I needed to keep going.”
“Dorothy warmed to her respite carer straight away, and I could see she was at ease. When I came back, I felt recharged, more patient, and ready to give my best again.”
Dorothy, 94, has lived in her cosy Ryde bungalow for over 40 years. Following a mild stroke last year, she began relying on her son Michael for daily support – from preparing meals and managing medication to simply enjoying a cup of tea together.
Michael cherished the time with his mum but was also balancing a busy job and young family. The constant pressure left him drained, and he knew he needed time to rest. A neighbour suggested home-based respite care, and after looking into local options, Michael contacted GoodOaks Homecare Isle of Wight.
Camelia, our Isle of Wight Registered Manager, visited Dorothy and Michael to learn about Dorothy’s routine, interests, and health needs. Together, they created a short-term care plan to ensure Dorothy would feel supported, engaged, and comfortable while Michael took a week-long break.
Linda, an experienced GoodOaks respite care professional, was introduced to Dorothy ahead of the break. They quickly bonded over a shared love of knitting and seaside walks. Linda provided companionship, help with daily tasks, and gentle encouragement to keep Dorothy active – all while maintaining her familiar routine.
By the time Michael returned, Dorothy was content and cheerful, and Michael felt rested and reassured, knowing that high-quality, compassionate care was available whenever he needed time to recharge.
