Frequently Asked Questions About Respite and Holiday Care
What is respite care?
Respite care is short term care that gives family carers a proper break while making sure their loved one continues to receive the same high standard of support at home. Whether you need cover for a few days, a week, or longer, a trained carer steps in and takes over so you can rest, go on holiday, or simply take some time for yourself. At Evergreen Care, we make sure the transition is smooth and that your loved one feels comfortable with their temporary carer before you leave.
What is holiday care and how does it work?
Holiday care means that one of our trained carers accompanies your loved one on a trip or holiday so they can still enjoy a break even if they need support. The carer travels with them, helps with all personal care and daily tasks, and makes sure the holiday is safe and enjoyable for everyone. We can also provide cover at home while the main family carer goes on holiday, so your loved one is looked after to the same standard while you are away.
How quickly can you arrange respite care?
We understand that sometimes respite care is needed at short notice, for example after a sudden illness or a family emergency. We do our best to arrange cover as quickly as possible. Contact us on 0208 0904748 and our team will let you know what is available and how soon we can get a carer in place. For planned holidays we recommend getting in touch at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance so we have time to find the right carer and do a proper introduction.
Do you provide respite care in Barnet, Finchley and Harrow?

We provide respite and holiday care across North London including Finchley (N3, N12), Barnet (EN4, EN5), Harrow (HA1, HA2, HA3), Camden (NW1, NW3), Brent (NW10), and Hammersmith and Fulham (W6, W14).

Are your respite carers CQC regulated?
Yes. Evergreen Care is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and holds a Good rating. All our respite carers are fully trained and DBS checked. We hold every carer to the same high professional standard whether they are providing regular care or short term respite cover.
How much does respite care cost in North London?
The cost of respite care in North London depends on how many hours per day are needed and how long the cover is required. At Evergreen Care we go through all pricing clearly during your free consultation so there are no surprises. Some families in Barnet, Harrow, and Camden may be eligible for council support toward respite care costs following a care needs assessment.
Will my loved one have the same carer during respite?
We always try to keep continuity of care by assigning one consistent carer for the duration of the respite period. We also introduce the carer to your loved one before you go so they are not meeting a stranger for the first time on the day you leave. This makes the transition much smoother and helps your loved one feel comfortable and at ease while you are away.
Can respite care be combined with other services?
Yes. Respite care works alongside any of our other services. For example, if your loved one usually receives domiciliary care visits, we can arrange for the same level of support to continue during your break. If they need overnight support, we can add waking night care on top. Our team will put together a care plan that covers everything so you can go away knowing your loved one is fully taken care of.
