Family caregivers across Surrey often reach the point of needing a break before they reach the point of asking. Salve provides scheduled respite (a few hours, a weekend, longer if needed) across Newton and Sullivan Heights, Guildford and Fraser Heights, Cloverdale and Clayton, with caregivers your loved one already trusts.

Who it's for
Family caregivers who've been at this long enough to know they need a break. The first call is the hardest; it gets easier.
Hours and schedule
Anywhere from four hours to a full week. We cover days, evenings, overnights, and around-the-clock multi-shift coverage when the situation needs it.
§
Rest, for the person who never gets any.
The most common respite call from Surrey is a spouse in Newton or Guildford who hasn't slept a full night in months. Overnight respite fixes exactly that: a trained caregiver takes the night, the carer sleeps, and the morning handoff comes with notes. Daytime blocks work the same way for adult children juggling work and a parent's care. The point is to make the caring sustainable.
§
Respite for family caregivers in Surrey: what families ask.
Can respite be overnight?
Yes: overnight respite is one of the most-requested arrangements in Surrey. The caregiver covers the night, your loved one keeps their routine, and the family carer gets the one thing nobody can donate: sleep.
Is a whole weekend possible?
Yes. Respite runs from a four-hour block to a full week of multi-shift coverage. Weekends are common: long enough to actually leave town, short enough that the first time doesn't feel like a leap.
