Our care

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.

What families say

Bethany F. Google review

“Lovely ladies, extremely passionate about providing person centred care to the community. Highly recommend.”

“Aurora Care are the most amazing group of carers. Their experience and compassion are second to none, and they continually go above and beyond for my mum. They haven't just cared for her, they've supported our whole family too. Even though I live four hours away, they've eased so much worry because I know she's in such great hands. Thank you, Kirsty, Kayleigh and the team, you are truly a wonderful group of people and we have been so fortunate to find you.”

“My Mum has been using Aurora Care for a few months. Her carers have been exceptional; friendly, kind, diligent and very caring. Nothing has been too much trouble for them to do.”

“These girls and this business is quite the best. They are fun, professional, reliable and immensely kind and thoughtful. The business as such is very efficiently run and their communication skills with the family and their charges are superb.”

“[Her carer] has been an amazing companion/carer for my Mum who has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. Mum has always been fiercely independent & with [her carer]'s support, we have the reassurance of knowing that she is safe & well cared for but can continue to live independently in her own home.”
