Respite Care

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is spending time away from your home.

This gives your carers a break. They can have a rest, go out, or go away on holiday.

What can we offer you?

  • It gives you a chance to have a break.
  • You can make new friends.
  • You can have a holiday.
  • You can become more independent.
  • You can find out what it is like to be away from home.
  • You can go out for the day or evening.
  • You can try new things.

There are different types of respite care. Egerton Road is a home where you can stay for short breaks. You can find out more about Egerton Road by clicking on the button below.
