Our purpose is to provide respite care within our community to the growing number of adults who provide unpaid care to a relative or friend affected by disability, age, illness or mental ill health, who otherwise would not be able to manage without their support. Our fully trained care support staff look after the person with care needs whilst their carer has a break from their caring responsibilities. Carers often have health issues of their own which are aggravated by the anxiety and stress of being a full time carer to their loved ones themselves. Our aim is to help reduce the stress and improve their health and well-being. We provide regular weekly respite breaks lasting up to 4 hours per visit, on the same day, same time and same support worker. Either staying in the home with the 'supported' person while the carer goes out or taking the 'supported' person out to give the carer a break.
