Respite Care (Nkwado Ezumike)

At BoldHeartcare, we deeply respect and honour the dedication of family caregivers. Caring for a loved one full-time is one of the most selfless and demanding commitments a person can make, and we understand that even the most devoted caregiver needs time to rest, recharge, and attend to their own wellbeing. Our Respite Care service exists to make that possible, providing high-quality, temporary care for your loved one so that you can step back with complete confidence, knowing they are in safe, skilled, and compassionate hands.

BoldHeartcare's Respite Care is entirely contract-free and can be arranged on a flexible, temporary basis to suit your schedule and circumstances. Whether you need a few hours of relief, a full day of cover, or support across several days or weeks, we are ready to step in seamlessly, ensuring continuity, comfort, and care for your loved one from the very first moment.

We prepare in advance so you never have to wait. BoldHeartcare carefully selects and trains our respite carers ahead of time, ensuring that when you need support, the right person is ready to provide it, promptly, professionally, and with genuine warmth. In urgent situations, a skilled care advisor can be with you or your loved one in as little as three hours, providing immediate reassurance when it matters most.

What Our Respite Care Covers

✦ Medication Reminders
Our carers provide skilled, timely prompts to ensure your loved one takes their medication correctly and on schedule, alongside gentle encouragement to stay hydrated and maintain other essential daily wellness routines.

✦ Staying Active
Physical movement is vital to both physical and mental health. Our carers support individuals to remain active in ways that suit their ability and preferences, from a gentle walk around the neighbourhood to specific exercises recommended by a healthcare professional.

✦ Meal Preparation and Groceries
Good nutrition is at the heart of good health. Our carers handle everything from grocery shopping to planning and preparing fresh, healthy, and enjoyable meals that reflect the individual's tastes, dietary requirements, and cultural preferences.

✦ Transportation
Whether your loved one needs to attend a medical appointment, visit family, run errands, or simply get out of the house, our carers provide safe, comfortable, and reliable transportation, wherever they need to go.

✦ Light Housekeeping
A clean and organised home contributes to a calm and comfortable state of mind. Our carers assist with everyday household tasks including washing dishes, doing laundry, taking out the rubbish, and tackling seasonal tidying and organising, keeping the home fresh and welcoming throughout the respite period.

✦ Personal Care and Hygiene
Our carers provide respectful, professional, and dignified assistance with all personal care needs, including dressing, bathing, and toileting. Every individual is treated with the utmost sensitivity and respect, ensuring they always feel comfortable, valued, and cared for.

✦ Companionship
Beyond the practical tasks of daily care, BoldHeartcare carers bring something equally important, genuine human connection. Our carers engage individuals in meaningful activities, stimulating conversation, shared hobbies, and community fellowship, building real relationships that bring joy, reduce loneliness, and enhance emotional wellbeing.

✦ Check-In Visits
For families who simply need reassurance that their loved one is safe and well, our check-in visit service offers exactly that. A skilled BoldHeartcare care advisor can be arranged to visit your loved one at home, providing a friendly, professional presence and a timely report back to the family. Available with as little as three hours notice.

Caring for someone you love is a privilege, but it should never come at the cost of your own health and happiness. BoldHeartcare's Respite Care service is here to ensure that family caregivers across Lagos and Abuja have access to the relief, support, and peace of mind they deserve. Our service is available to private individuals and families, government agencies, NGOs, and international organisations, because at BoldHeartcare, we believe that when we care for the caregiver, we ultimately care for everyone.
