Sitting service and respite for family carers
Caring for someone you love is a full-time job. Regular sitting visits give you time to rest, work, see friends or simply breathe, knowing Mum or Dad is with someone kind and familiar.
What a respite and sitting visit includes
- The same small team of carers
- Companionship and light household help during the visit
Who it helps
Family carers who need a regular break, including couples where one partner is caring for the other.
What we don’t do
Aurora does not take one-off or short-term bookings. Sitting means regular, booked slots, so carers get to know the person.
Areas we cover
North Dorset, South Somerset and South Wiltshire. Call Kirsty with your postcode if you are not sure.
