Respite care

Our respite service includes:

• What are the benefits of respite care?

  Respite care provides a number of benefits for both the primary caregiver and the person being cared for.

  For caregivers, having a period of respite allows for recovery and relaxation by giving you the opportunity to take some time for yourself, so you can rest or attend to your own personal needs. Having breaks to rest can prevent burnout in the long-term and benefits your mental health.

  For people receiving care, respite provides an opportunity to experience a new environment and promotes social interaction, whether in a care home or through a sitting service. Care home stays allow people to get involved in the lifestyle of the home by taking part in activities and events and through meeting new people, which can help prevent feelings of isolation or loneliness.

  Both caregivers and people receiving care can benefit from the change of pace offered by respite, which allows both people the chance to return feeling refreshed.
