Respite care provides temporary relief for a primary caregiver, enabling you to take a much-needed break from the demands of caregiving for a sick, aging, or disabled family member. Respite care can take place in your own home, whether it’s for just a few hours a week or an extended vacation. Seeking respite care can help ease the burden of family caregiving and help to relieve stress, restore your energy, and promote balance in your life. It can also prevent you from becoming exhausted, isolated, or even burned out.
Respite care can benefit the person you’re caring for too, providing them with variety, stimulation, and a welcome change of routine.
Many relatives are not only a cherished source of support for their loved ones, they can quickly become their main carers. There can be times when this is demanding, there are times when you may need a holiday or to travel for business, or simply need a few hours in the day to look after yourself. New Dawn Support Services can tailor a package of respite care to support you. Whether you need a couple of hours every day, a weekend or a live-in carer for a few days or more, we have a qualified team ready to step in.
