Respite care in Shirley

When to choose respite care

Often, people opt for respite care because they're being supported by a family member or close friend who needs a well-earned break. Taking time away from each other for a few days can have major benefits for both of your mental and physical well-being, and many people enjoy having a new friendly face helping out around the home. It’s also not always possible to anticipate the need for respite care. Whether you've had an accident that requires a period of recovery, or you've been discharged early from hospital, our Shirley care team will normally be able to provide you with a carer within 24 hours of your first contact to us, allowing you to focus your time and energy on doing the things you enjoy.
