Holiday care
A carer travels with you, in the UK or abroad, so a holiday is still possible.
Plenty of people stop going away not because they cannot travel, but because the logistics became one thing too many. A carer who comes with you removes most of that.
It works for a week in Llandudno and it works for a fortnight in Kerala. What changes is the planning, and we do that part with you well in advance.
Who this suits
- Someone who has stopped going away because it felt impossible
- A family who want a holiday together rather than in shifts
- A wedding, a funeral or a birthday that needs travelling to
- Anyone whose care needs are the only thing standing between them and a week away
When it is not the right answer. It needs planning time — six to eight weeks is realistic once travel, insurance and medication are involved. Last-minute is rarely possible and we would rather say so than let you book flights.
What is included
What holiday care covers
The care plan is written with you, so this is a starting point rather than a fixed list.
The same care, away from home
Personal care, medication and the routine, in a hotel room instead of a bedroom.
Travel itself
Airports, assistance bookings, transfers, and the long day that a journey turns into.
Planning beforehand
Medication supplies, letters for customs, insurance questions, accessibility checks on the accommodation.
While you are there
Trips out, the pool, the evening meal, and someone to handle the bits that would otherwise stop you going.
Family holidays
So the rest of the family get a holiday too, rather than a change of location.
A carer you already know
Wherever possible it is someone from your regular team, not a stranger for a fortnight.
Who pays the carer’s travel and accommodation?
You do, and we set it out clearly in the written quotation before anything is booked.
How far in advance should we ask?
Six to eight weeks for anything abroad. Less for a few days in the UK.
Can the carer drive abroad?
Sometimes, depending on the carer and the insurance. Ask early and we will confirm.
