Occasional Respite Service

WOULD YOU LIKE A BREAK FROM CARING?  We can provide you with sa sitter for your cared for person to give you occasional short breaks to enable you to attend a family gathering; go out with friends; have a long hot bath in peace, attend a health clinic or other health appointment.

This service is NOT able to give you a regular break (for example every Thursday afternoon between 2-4pm) or a regular amount of hours per month, but to offer you an ocassional break of up to a maximum of 4 hours at any one time. It is not a ‘therapeutic’ service for your cared for person but is purely to enable you to leave them safely whilst you have time out for yourself.

We use paid care workers from an agency. If you have a preferred care worker we may be able to negotiate to pay them to provide your service.

If you would like to use this service please give us a ring or email us  please label your email ‘respite’ and we will send you a registration pack.
