Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
It's not easy to admit that you need a break from caring for a loved one. You're likely to be worried about how they will feel, or whether they'll continue to receive a high standard of care.
A change of carer can be unsettling for the person you look after. Our empathetic and reliable respite carers in London will ensure there is a smooth handover of caring responsibilities and strive to build a strong rapport with your loved one.
With our support, you can take a break and know they are in safe hands. Their wellbeing is our main concern, but your own needs are important too. Taking respite breaks is essential for your health. Our services are designed to help.
By delivering care at home, we can safeguard your loved one’s independence and routine. They’ll feel more secure and settled in familiar surroundings, which can improve their health outcomes. Home respite care is of particular benefit to those with complex health needs who require round-the-clock care. Our respite carers can pick up where you or another caregiver have left off and take care of daily household and personal care tasks. They can also provide support with administering medication and assist with any mobility challenges.
We offer a wide range of short-term, flexible respite care options. These are often cheaper than other forms of respite care and involve less form-filling. So, whether it’s companionship care, day care, overnight care, or 24-hour live-in care your loved one requires, we can build a respite package to suit them. We don’t need an end date to get started and you won’t be tied into a lengthy contract. Our respite care is quick, simple to arrange and focuses on what you feel works best.
We know that life can throw us regular curve balls and often even the best-laid plans can be scuppered. As a caregiver, there may be occasions when you fall ill, have an accident or need to take leave unexpectedly to visit an ailing family member. Our respite carers are on hand to step in at the last minute and provide exemplary care when you’re called away to deal with unforeseen emergencies. We’ll make sure our carers know your loved one’s schedule as well as their preferences and the tasks that need to be taken care of.

"Respite work is varied. I might be needed for a few hours, or I could move in temporarily. I build companionship with the person I’m looking after. I do what their main support usually does. This includes personal care or helping out around the house. As a professional, I know it's challenging to care for someone. I find this work rewarding. I'm giving other carers a chance to rest. This is why many carers trust services like ours."
Our Respite Care is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Respite care is short-term support. It gives carers a temporary break from their caring responsibilities. This allows them to rest and recharge. They can then return to their duties refreshed. Sometimes, a carer's assessment from the local council may identify the need for respite care services. It's an essential service for many caregivers.
A respite carer might be needed if the main carer is unwell. Or if they have an accident or are called away. It's also for planned holidays. Or for extra help after a hospital stay. Sometimes, you just need a break from caring. A carer’s assessment by your local authority can help identify when respite is beneficial. A social worker may also suggest it.
Tiggo Care offers home-based respite care in London. This means care is delivered in the person's own home. Other types of respite care exist. These can include stays at a day centre or respite holidays. Some might opt for a short stay in a care home. We believe there are many benefits to home-based respite care, including keeping your loved one in familiar surroundings, maintaining their routine, and reducing anxiety and disruption from a change of location.
Although both respite care and home care can be delivered within the care recipient’s home, home care is generally a longer-term support arrangement. Respite care is a short-term arrangement designed to give existing carers a temporary break from their caring responsibilities. Respite care can also be delivered outside the home, such as in a respite care home.
Many families arrange and pay for respite care privately. However, depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for council funding for home respite care. If your loved one has eligible care needs, your local authority may carry out a needs assessment and a financial assessment to determine if they qualify for financial support. If your loved one receives a personal budget or direct payments, these may be used to fund respite care. If you receive carer’s allowance, you should check whether a period of respite care could affect your entitlement. The basic rule is that you can take off up to four weeks in any 26-week period for respite without affecting your carer’s allowance payments.
