What is respite care?
Respite care is the term used for services that enable you to take a break from caring by temporarily caring for the person you usually care for. It's important to take a break from caring if you need one – it doesn’t mean you’re letting down the person you look after, and it could help you care for them better, for longer. You may need respite care for several reasons, including:
- your regular carer needs a break
- your family members are going on holiday
- you’re being discharged from hospital
- you need regular time out to do other things
