Short breaks

Short stay away from home for the person you care for

A short stay away from home can be arranged for the person you care for - either for a couple of days or longer.

This is known as respite care and can be a welcome change for the person you care for, as well as giving the you, the carer, a much needed break.

You can choose whether it is flexible over a long period of time or for specific periods of time. 

A social worker or a health professional can help you to get an assessment for the person you care for.
