Lottie was a great service. Very quick and easy to use and managed to book a home for respite care within 24 hours of contacting the service.

Klara at Lottie was knowledgeable about respite care and took stress away at a hard time. Highly recommend this service.

Eva’s voice and caring manner put me at ease while exploring 10-day respite for my 97yr old mum. She sent info tailored to Mum’s needs.

Joe was very sympathetic and helpful. He rang around and found us a home with space. We would not have managed this without Lottie's great free service.

I was able to speak to a real person who was helpful and understanding. She is doing all the research for me into respite care for my elderly mother-in-law.

We were given a few options within a few hours which relieved anxiety and stress. We then organised respite care after visiting one of the recommended care homes.
