Respite Care

Respite care is short term care that allows a carer to have a break, whilst ensuring their loved one receives the care that they need.

Respite care can be planned which allows a carer to schedule breaks, or it could be to help with an emergency. The care may last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks at a time. Respite care has many benefits for your elderly loved one, too, such as variety, stimulation and even new friendships.
