Unfamiliar faces make things worse
Rotating carers increase anxiety and distress. Consistency is not a luxury in dementia care - it is the care.
Consistent, compassionate support - delivered by the same familiar face, every time.
Why Consistency Matters
Rotating carers increase anxiety and distress. Consistency is not a luxury in dementia care - it is the care.
Familiar surroundings reduce confusion and slow decline. Staying home matters more than most families realise.
Family carers cannot keep going without proper, trustworthy cover. You should not have to.
Why Haven Respite
We match your loved one with one dedicated support worker. They learn the routines, the preferences, the little things that matter. No re-explaining. No new faces. Just consistent, specialist support.
