Why Respite
One of the most valuable strategies for coping with caring is to have a regular break, often known as ‘respite care’, and to make time for yourself away from your routine. Even brief breaks are important as they provide an opportunity to recharge your batteries, clear your mind, pursue your own interests and return to your role refreshed and revitalised. It is important though that this time is spent relaxing or doing things you enjoy and not just catching up on jobs!
Respite can benefit the person you care for as they will have different company or perhaps different surroundings in your absence. They may also be relieved that you are having a break and should benefit from a more relaxed you on your return.
ResCare Services
Our Respite Care can take many forms
- In-home respite A person can come to your home to be with the person you look after for a few hours or overnight. This can be occasional or regular, depending on your needs.
- Short-term accommodation The person you care for may go to a home for a short stay, on an occasional or regular basis.
- Support respite You may go on holiday together to a hotel or a function where they can provide care for your loved one so that you have some time to yourself but you both benefit from quality time away from home.
Transitional Respite (TR)
Are you looking for a residential placement and you have been waiting for a while. Transitional respite can be a solution.
Transitional respite has a minimum and a maximum placement timeframe.
Maximum a service user can stay at a transitional respite is 3 months. Extension of this service may be considered on a case by case basis.
Community access respite
This kind of respite gets your loved one involved in day time activities that can help them develop independent living and social skills. This could be a group in a neighbourhood house or at a community centre or a support worker might go with you as a family to help you join in with community activity.
