What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term care option designed to provide temporary support for individuals who may need assistance with daily living activities, personal care, or recovery after a period of hospitalisation.

This type of care is particularly beneficial for those recovering from an operation or an illness, as it offers a safe, comfortable environment where they can regain their strength while receiving dedicated support. Respite care packages should be customised to match your specific needs and timescales.
