Respite care

Respite Care Home Services

Respite care provides a temporary relief placement that offers a break for individuals and their carers. This type of care is most commonly used for a short period of time, offering the current carers some time away or a holiday and the person being cared for a chance for a change or pace and enrichment. Respite is an important tool that allows people to prioritise their individual wellbeing and in turn have better and more productive day to day relationships. Midlands Care offers respite care in Leicester and Warwickshire, including short term respite care and care for a longer period. This provides an excellent opportunity for a trial period into the world of residential care too. Where respite placements in our residential care homes gives individuals a warm welcome into the home’s community and daily routines, without yet making a more permanent commitment. Read on to hear more about why this type of care may be right for you.
