Respite is also very beneficial to family members and carers. Providing care takes a lot of energy, and sometimes carers and family members need a break. With respite, they can recharge their batteries and take the rest they need. Respite is an important support service for carers and family members.
When your family or carer is in need of a short break
You are looking to increase your independence or access to activities
Your family/informal support can no longer support you.
