Respite - A home based respite sitting service

We contact you and ask you to come to the Carers Centre to discuss your needs and the service you would like.

We then arrange, with you, for two of our staff to visit your home to meet the person you are caring for.

This helps us to understand your caring sitaution and arrange a suitable respite worker.
