It gave me back a little of me
🗣️ “I am most grateful for a three-and-a-half hours per week of respite … it enables me to recap my energy, relax and enjoy myself.”

This is the difference a few hours can make. Respite care = a pause in the caregiving role, but the support remains consistent and compassionate.

Did you know Crossroads Care Surrey aims to send the same Carer Support Worker for continuity, so you and your loved one build trust?

If you’re unsure whether respite is for you, reach out and we can have a chat, assess your needs, and find a solution that fits.

Why respite matters in chronic illness

Caring for someone with a chronic condition like Parkinson’s, MS, COPD, dementia, can be utterly consuming. Without breaks, carers are at risk of burnout, poor health and isolation. Respite care isn’t just a luxury. It’s essential.

At Crossroads Care Surrey, our Carer Well-being Breaks allow you short periods of relief while our trained Carer Support Workers step in.

📌 For example:
A caregiver of someone with dementia might arrange a regular 3.5-hour break weekly (we offer this for children/adults) or choose overnight support with Sleep-In or Waking Night Care.

You’re not alone and rest doesn’t mean neglect. It means renewal.

💡 Myth: “Home care is only for older people.”

✅ Fact: Crossroads Care supports people of ALL ages.

A huge thank you to The Leatherhead Club for their incredible £6,000 donation!

The hidden cost of caring is pushing families to breaking point.

Shocking new research reveals:
• 49% of carers have cut back on food, heating and clothing
• 84% have seen their energy bills soar
• 62% regularly spend their own money on caring costs
• Many are going into debt just to keep caring

At Crossroads Care Surrey, our online support can help carers navigate the complex benefits system and understand how to access financial support. We also provide practical respite care so you can take a break without worry.
You're saving the NHS and social care system billions – you deserve support too.

Let us help you get the breaks and support you need 💚
