Our Services
Our respite care services are designed to give family carers a break from their caring responsibilities, ensuring their loved ones are well looked after while they take some time for themselves.
MENTAL HEALTH, AUTISM, AND LEARNING DISABILITIES
Respite care offers invaluable support for caregivers looking after individuals with mental health conditions, learning disabilities, or autism. It provides a temporary break, allowing families or primary carers to rest while ensuring their loved ones continue to receive proper care and support.
This service is designed to enhance caregivers' wellbeing by reducing stress, preventing burnout, and supporting the individual with specialised care in a safe and comfortable environment. Whether it's a few hours, a day, or a longer stay, respite care ensures continuity of care, giving caregivers peace of mind while they take time to recharge.
All our caregivers are trained in de-escalation techniques, positive behaviour support, trauma-informed care, and therapeutic parenting enabling your loved ones to receive the highest standard of care.

Day Respite Care
Our caregivers visit the service users in their homes to provide personalised support, helping them remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. Whether it's for a few hours or several days, our trained caregivers assist with daily tasks such as meal preparation, personal care, and social interaction. In-home respite care also gives family members a much-needed break, enabling them to focus on other responsibilities while feeling reassured that their loved one is in safe, capable hands.
We provide emergency respite care for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs when a primary caregiver is suddenly unavailable due to illness or other urgent circumstances. Our service ensures that no one is left without support during these crises, safeguarding their wellbeing and offering peace of mind to families in difficult times. This immediate care is provided to maintain stability and continuity in the service user's support network.
Overnight respite care offers assistance during the night, ensuring that individuals are supported and cared for during the evening and early morning hours. We ensure that they are safely monitored and cared for during these hours. This service is ideal for those needing help with mobility, personal care, or overnight support, giving peace of mind to both the service user and their families. It's a flexible and supportive solution for overnight care needs.
Day Respite Care service is designed to provide short-term relief for caregivers during the day for a set number of hours while offering service users a chance to participate in structured, supportive programs to enhance life skills and social interaction. For those with mental health conditions like schizophrenia, we provide therapeutic support, meaningful activities, and group therapy sessions. These services ensure service users receive tailored care while engaging in enriching social experiences in a safe environment.
WHAT WE DO
At Ignite Nursing, we believe in promoting wellbeing through meaningful engagement. During respite care, our team arranges a variety of activities tailored to each service user's interests and abilities.
Stimulating creativity is at the heart of our arts and crafts activities. From painting and drawing to other artistic pursuits, we encourage service users to express themselves through a variety of mediums. These activities provide enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment and pride in their creations.
Physical wellness is an essential part of our daily activities. We offer gentle exercises, gardening, and outdoor walks to promote mobility and physical health. These activities are designed to be enjoyable while keeping service users active and ensuring they feel energised and refreshed throughout the day.
Mental stimulation is equally important in keeping the mind engaged and sharp. Our service users can participate in puzzles, reading, and various games tailored to their interests. These activities encourage problem-solving, memory retention, and focus, contributing to their cognitive well-being in an enjoyable way.
Social interaction forms a key part of our daily activities, promoting connections and emotional well-being. We arrange group discussions, shared meals, trips, and social games which provide opportunities for service users to bond with others, build friendships, and enjoy a supportive community, helping to reduce any feelings of isolation.
