RESPITE CARE AT HOME
Room for a break.
Care that continues.
Time for yourself can be part of caring for someone else. Explore temporary support at home or in the community.
Talk about your careSUPPORT, SHAPED AROUND YOU
Two people. Both matter.
Respite gives a family carer time away from caring responsibilities while the person they support receives individual care.
At home
Help with personal care and familiar daily routines.
Out in the community
Activities and social outings that reflect the person’s interests.
A planned handover
Share the details that help another person step into the caring routine.
A CONVERSATION STARTER
Make the handover feel less like a leap.
You do not need to have every answer. These questions can help you prepare for a conversation with your local team.
What support is needed while you are away?
What routines, contacts and preferences should be shared?
What should happen if plans change?
