Who we are.
Universal Respite Care comes from humble beginnings, a conversation over a cup of coffee. "Isn’t that how most new adventures start"
Welcome to Universal Respite Care, where our unwavering dedication lies in delivering a needs-driven, person-centred approach to individuals who are vulnerable, isolated, and those facing learning difficulties and challenging behaviours.
Our services embrace inclusivity and diversity, as we are committed to nurturing the well-being, health, and independent living skills of every individual we support. Our service users are integral members of the local community, and we extend our guidance to parents, families, and caregivers, enhancing their communication skills and overall daily lives.
In close collaboration with caregivers, we offer an array of activities tailored to the preferences of our service users. Our comprehensive services encompass:
Universal Respite Care stands as a beacon of quality respite services for adults aged 18 and above, regardless of age, who seek assistance in learning, mentorship, and empowerment. Our respite services are available round the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Respite care is not just a service; it's an opportunity. An opportunity for caregivers and families to experience a well-deserved and much-needed break. Emergencies, holidays, or unforeseen circumstances can often leave caregivers in a quandary, without anyone to care for their beloved family member in need of support.
At Universal Respite Care, we recognize these challenges and stand as a pillar of support, ready to step in when caregivers require assistance the most. Your loved one will always have a safe haven with us, ensuring their care is uninterrupted, even during unexpected situations.
All our staff are fully trained and DBS checked. All care policies and procedures and confidentiality, complaints, and grievance procedures are in place
