Short Breaks and Emergency Provision
Notice Description
Respite and short breaks services offer short term support in a residential setting to give the informal carer a break from their caring role and to provide a meaningful activity for the service users. This is significant in relieving pressure on and helping to sustain informal carer arrangement in the long term, and can benefit their emotional wellbeing. The service may also offer an emergency placement service.
