Looking after someone you love can be rewarding, but it can also be extremely physically and emotionally draining.
Respite care is designed to give you, as a carer, a break away from your day-to-day care duties, so you can recharge and revive.
This can be anything from a couple of hours a week, just to enjoy some “me time” or to attend a medical appointment yourself, an afternoon to visit friends and family or even a few days to have a break.
