Help in a Crisis

Your Social Worker will also have details of respite day centre and care homes. It is important for the person you care for to have a community care assessment to make sure that any placement is suitable and can provide the correct care.
For planned ongoing respite please contact your Local Authority as you may be eligible for a direct payment to cover some of the costs of the services provided for the person you care for.
