Respite Care in Worcester and the Surrounding Area

At Bluebird Care Worcester & Wychavon, we know how deeply you care for your loved one. But we also know how important it is to look after yourself. That’s where we come in.

Our professional respite care workers in Worcester, Evesham, Pershore, Droitwich Spa, and the North Cotswolds are here to help. Whether you need a short break, regular support, or time away for work or family, we’ll step in with expert, personalised care that gives both you and your loved one peace of mind.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is short-term care designed to give family carers a break whether it’s for a few hours, a few days, or on a recurring basis. It offers a chance to rest, recharge, or manage other responsibilities, safe in the knowledge that your loved one is receiving compassionate, high-quality support.

Our carers aren’t just there to “fill in.” They’re trained professionals who understand the importance of trust, routine, and emotional connection. They take the time to get to know your loved one’s needs and preferences, so care feels seamless, not disruptive.

From a single afternoon in Droitwich Spa to a week-long stay in the North Cotswolds, we tailor every plan to your situation.

How Does Respite Care Support You?

Caring for someone is an incredible act of love but it’s also physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care supports you by giving you space to pause, without compromising the quality of care your loved one receives.

Why take a break?

• You might need to catch up on sleep

• Attend your own medical appointments

• Spend time with other family members or children

• Go on holiday, whether locally or abroad

• Or simply enjoy a peaceful walk, a cup of tea, or some much-needed rest

Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish it’s necessary. And we’re here to help you do that with confidence.

What Do Our Respite Care Workers Do?

Our respite care workers in Worcester and beyond are trained to step into your shoes and provide a wide range of support, including:

• Personal care – help with bathing, dressing, and grooming

• Companionship – conversation, games, or simply sharing time together

• Meal preparation – freshly cooked, nutritious meals

• Medication management – reminders and collection from the pharmacy

• Household help – tidying, laundry, or even watering plants

• Outings and errands – trips to the shop, garden centre or favourite café

• Mobility assistance – gentle support moving around the home

• Overnight support – sleeping or waking night care if needed

Each plan is shaped around your routine, your schedule, and your loved one’s preferences whether you’re in the heart of Worcester, the countryside near Pershore, or the market towns and villages of the North Cotswolds.

Types of Respite Care Packages

Short-Term Respite Care

Ideal when you’re going away for a few days, have an unexpected emergency, or simply need some time to reset. We can step in quickly and provide short-term cover, so your loved one is never without support.

The families we support who choose this option do so when they have family events, travel plans, or surgery of their own.

Regular Respite Support

If you’re caring long-term, regular respite visits can make all the difference. Whether it’s one afternoon a week or a few mornings a month, this gives you consistent space to rest and reset while your loved one enjoys time with a familiar carer.

Respite Care for the Elderly

We specialise in supporting older people who may be living with long-term conditions such as dementia, arthritis, Parkinson’s, or reduced mobility. Our carers provide not only practical support, but emotional connection - something especially important for elderly people at risk of isolation.

In quieter areas of the North Cotswolds, where public transport or day centres might be limited, our carers offer that vital lifeline of companionship and community.

Whether it’s a trip to Broadway Tower, a visit to Worcester Porcelain Museum, or simply reminiscing over photo albums, we focus on the little moments that bring joy and familiarity.

Why Bluebird Care?

• We’re a locally run team, not a distant call centre

• Our carers are fully trained, DBS-checked, and emotionally intelligent

• We offer flexible packages with no long-term commitment

• We work closely with local GPs, NHS teams, and community services

• And most importantly — we genuinely care
