Respite - Breaks for Carers

Respite or ‘short term’ care allows carers a break from looking after a disabled person, someone who is severely ill or frail older person. Carers can take a break when they most need it, knowing that the person they look after is safe and receiving good care. The respite care service gives carers the freedom to decide when and where they take a break from caring.
