Find trusted respite care
for someone you love

The booking platform for short-term respite care.

How RespiteAway works

We help caregivers find licensed care facilities offering short-term respite stays.

Search and compare

Browse licensed retirement residences near you and see which ones fit your dates and care needs.

Request a stay

Share the dates you need and a short summary of the care your person needs. You don't pay anything to send a request.

During the stay

The residence's own staff provide the care. You can message them from your dashboard at any time.

Your peace of mind comes first

This is not an easy decision. The platform is built so the important parts are checked, recorded, and reachable by a person.

  • Licence checked

    Our team checks that a retirement home's licence shows Issued on the regulator's public register, and shows the date we checked. Nothing more.

  • Completed stay reviews

    Reviews can only be left after a completed stay. No paid placements.

  • Real human support

    Our team is reachable by email. You will always hear back from a person, not an autoresponder.
