Respite services
Big words
What is respite?
Respite services offer short-term care for people if you are usually looked after by a relative or carer at home. Respite stays enable carers to take a break.
What does respite offer?
We can arrange a range of different respite services such as
- planned short stays – this is aimed to give you and your carers a short break
- non-residential respite – this service is aimed to give you and your carers a break during the day may also be during the evening or at weekends, and
- emergency respite – this is when you are unable to stay at home for example if your carer is ill.
