We provide support to families who need a break from their constant caring role. The aim is to provide carers “Short-Break” that enables them to have respite from their non-stop caring responsibilities of their disabled family members.
Our Services:
Home Based Respite: This short-term support is provided to the clients either in a residential setting or in their own homes. The main focus is on companionship and conversation which helps to prevent social isolation and increases the well being of our clients. It also provides the opportunity for clients to gain support in undertaking household task such as cleaning, laundry and ironing and provides extended support to them to attend appointments and/or events such as religious activities, social clubs or/and visiting family and friends.
Residential Respite: The Residential Respite provides break for the carers away from their homes in a nice and exiting environment every year for a week. It provides a change in their surroundings and the opportunity to meet new people and do different things.
