What we do
To help make caring more sustainable, we provide respite or a sitter service to family caregivers to allow them to take a break from their caring responsibilities. This can be from a few hours during the day to full working night shifts. If you have caring responsibilities, you can contact Social Care Direct and request for a Carers assessment. Under The Care Act 2014 (England), The Local Authority has a duty to assess your needs as a carer. You can request these services in lieu of daycare or care home placement.
