Why respite matters in chronic illness

Caring for someone with a chronic condition like Parkinson’s, MS, COPD, dementia, can be utterly consuming. Without breaks, carers are at risk of burnout, poor health and isolation. Respite care isn’t just a luxury. It’s essential.

At Crossroads Care Surrey, our Carer Well-being Breaks allow you short periods of relief while our trained Carer Support Workers step in.

📌 For example:
A caregiver of someone with dementia might arrange a regular 3.5-hour break weekly (we offer this for children/adults) or choose overnight support with Sleep-In or Waking Night Care.

You’re not alone and rest doesn’t mean neglect. It means renewal.

The hidden cost of caring is pushing families to breaking point.

Shocking new research reveals:
• 49% of carers have cut back on food, heating and clothing
• 84% have seen their energy bills soar
• 62% regularly spend their own money on caring costs
• Many are going into debt just to keep caring

At Crossroads Care Surrey, our online support can help carers navigate the complex benefits system and understand how to access financial support. We also provide practical respite care so you can take a break without worry.
You're saving the NHS and social care system billions – you deserve support too.

Let us help you get the breaks and support you need 💚

When did you last do something just for you?

New research shows that over half of carers are now caring for MORE hours than a year ago. Many have lost touch with friends, given up hobbies, and feel like they've lost themselves in their caring role.
One carer shared: "I feel like I've lost myself...I no longer feel confident. I don't make the effort to socialise with people, I feel unworthy."

This breaks our hearts. Because every carer deserves time to be THEMSELVES – not just someone's carer.

That's why we provide professional, compassionate respite care. We give you the break you need to:
✨ Meet friends for coffee
✨ Exercise and stay healthy
✨ Pursue your hobbies
✨ Simply rest and recharge

You can't pour from an empty cup. Let us help you refill yours 💚
