Respite care for adults

Studies have shown that there are increased levels of stress, ill health and mental health problems in those people who undertake a caring role. Carers and the 'cared for' can benefit from day respite, residential respite and phased care services.

What is Respite Care? When a care relationship is not professional and not based on shifts and normal working hours, but is continuous for 24 hours per day, seven days per week. A break is not a luxury but essential to maintain the caring role.
