Taking a well-deserved holiday can be a challenge when you're worried about your parents. You might find yourself torn between your need to recharge and your desire to be there for them. But what if we told you that taking a break doesn't mean compromising on their care? At Reliant Healthcare, we specialise in providing compassionate, reliable care that ensures your loved ones are in safe hands while you enjoy some time away.
Many adult children experience feelings of guilt when planning holidays, especially if their parents have started to need extra support. It’s normal to worry about whether they’ll be alright without your presence. But we also know that taking a break is vital for your own wellbeing—to refresh, rejuvenate, and return with more energy to care for those you love. That's where we come in.
At Reliant, we offer flexible in-home care options designed to provide support while family members take a break. Whether it’s a check-in visit, daily assistance, or companionship, our team of highly trained carers, nurses, and allied health professionals can meet your parents’ needs while you are away. Our services are tailored to suit each individual’s preferences and requirements, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being looked after by trusted professionals. We can also provide you with daily or weekly updates (via calls, text, etc.) on your loved ones' progress while you are away, giving you that extra reassurance that they are safe and well cared for by our team.
We also understand that introducing the idea of in-home care can sometimes be met with resistance. Often, older adults want to maintain their independence and may feel hesitant about receiving outside help. A short-term care arrangement during your holiday is an ideal way to introduce care without long-term commitment. It can help your parents get used to the idea of having someone around, while still empowering them to remain independent. Our compassionate carers focus on building relationships based on trust and respect, making the experience a positive one for everyone involved.
Reliant Healthcare's approach is centred around our core values—to empower individuals to live their best lives, with dignity and independence. With over 40 years of experience in the home care industry, our expertise and commitment to quality set us apart. We offer a highly personalised service with same-day onboarding, so you can be assured of swift and professional assistance when you need it most.
So if you’re considering a holiday but feeling anxious about leaving your parents at home, let us help. Knowing your loved ones are being cared for by a trusted provider means you can fully embrace the opportunity to recharge. And who knows—your parents might just enjoy the experience too, making it easier to discuss future care needs down the track.
