Respite Care

Miranda Smith Homecare provides a 24 hour service as we are aware that care maybe required at any time.

Respite care is a chance for you and the person you care for to take a break.

As a carer you may need a break for a few hours or a few days. You may need help for a short period if, for example, you are ill or recovering from an illness yourself. In addition, the person for whom you are caring for might benefit from a change of scenery, or need more support than you can provide. Making arrangements to ensure excellent care is in place over a holiday or respite period doesn’t need to be difficult – our homecare is an easy solution and eliminates the stress of shifting to a care facility.

Miranda Smith Homecare Carers can provide respite care ranging from a few hours a week to overnight care or 24 hour live in care. It can be transport to an appointment or social outing, help with shopping and medication management, or simply providing companionship from a carefully chosen Carer for a period of time.

Convalescent Care

Many clients require short-term care at very short notice. This can be the result of an early hospital discharge, sudden illness or deterioration or a family member needing support while they are unavailable.

Whether it is two hours a day to help with meals, exercises or personal assistance, or 24 hour care until you are fully recovered, our flexible convalescence care service can support you for as long as required.

Miranda Smith Homecare are very responsive. We have used them for emergency care with less than a days’ notice. They have been easy to contact, always have coverage and are very responsive to our requests.

Hospital Discharge

Appropriate post-discharge support can decrease the length of your stay in hospital as well as ensuring a stress-free discharge and reduced chance of readmission. In the majority of cases, when you are deemed ready for discharge by the hospital, transfer home can be arranged very quickly.

Should you require a higher level of post-discharge support, Miranda Smith Homecare will work closely with you and the hospital to plan a smooth transition home with appropriate care in place.

Thank you Miranda Smith Homecare for giving me my life back and looking after my parents so well.
