What is Respite Care?

Respite is a short-term care alternative that relieves primary carers from their full-time responsibilities of looking after an individual. It can also be used by those who need support after experiencing an illness or surgery.

Whether it’s to provide extra support after a stay in the hospital or to allow a carer to receive care or time for themselves, care homes and nursing homes respite to support individuals in getting the time and help they need to make life just that little bit easier.
