Christmas is a notoriously busy time of year for everyone, with present-buying, grocery shopping and party organising among the list of chores. But if you’re a full-time carer for your elderly or poorly relative or friend, the festive season can be incredibly stressful as you juggle festive preparations with your care responsibilities. 

But there are support options available which will help you balance your responsibilities and ensure you’re given a well-deserved break this Christmas. Billericay domiciliary care providers Dial A Carer provide a host of care relief services which are incredibly popular at this time of year and encourage all full or part-time carers to consider sharing the workload to maintain their own health. 

Whether it’s simply to assist customers to a regular club, outing or appointment every week, or to provide comprehensive live-in care, Dial A Carer places its customers’ needs to remain at home at the centre of its philosophy.   

The Billericay social care provider delivers both permanent and temporary care services and is extremely flexible, which is why demand is particularly strong at this time of year when long-term carers require a rest. The company respects the independence of its customers and will provide as little or as much help as required while also reassuring their client’s loved-ones they are being looked after.  

As one of Billericay’s leading live-in and social care providers, Dial A Carer offers companionship at home 24/7, intermediate care upon discharge from hospital, end of life and palliative care for those with terminal illness, and holiday live-in care.

Managing Director Elizabeth Stobbe said: “Care doesn’t have to a full-time option and many home carers who simply need time out or a temporary break from their responsibilities, particularly around this time of year, can benefit from our services. We are a very flexible business and tailor our services to the individual and their family, to ensure everyone is content with the level of provision provided.

“I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the carers we employ for their support and dedication over the past 12 months. I know their customers greatly appreciate their assistance and friendship.” 

All staff are highly trained and put through vigorous testing procedures to ensure they are the best people for the job. For more information about Dial a Carer’s services, call 01268 711044 or click here.
