Respite Care
What does it do?
Respite care can help to reduce the stresses of being a full time carer and allows carers valuable 'time off' to do things that they would otherwise not be able to do such as taking a holiday, decorating, or attending appointments, and allows them to do so safe in the knowledge that their loved one is being cared for.
