Respite-to-care
What is respite-to-Care?
Transforming Lives Daily
Respite is about carers taking a break, whether it be for a few hours or for a longer holiday. It can improve carer wellbeing, provide a change of scene, and give carers a chance to exercise.
We tailor our stays to each person’s individual needs, and our nursing and care teams have specialist expertise in supporting older people who have Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, physical disabilities or restricted mobility, and conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease and multiple sclerosis.
Social services or social work departments can arrange alternative care for the person you care for so that you can have a break.
Plan and schedule frequent breaks
Planning Your Relief
Planning starts with analyzing the needs of both you and your loved one. Establishing the type, skills, frequency, and location of respite services is critical to ensure you receive appropriate support and your loved one continues receiving the best care.
Identifying your loved one’s needs and preferences will also help you find the right match. Are social activities most important to your loved one? Do they require assistance with walking, eating, or medications? Do they need mental stimulation? Or exercise? Answering these types of questions can help you determine which respite options to pursue.
