About respite care
Someone stepping in so the family carer can rest, get to an appointment, see friends or go away. It can be a few hours a week, a regular day, or a longer block of time.
Questions families ask
I feel guilty taking a break. Is that normal?
Very. But carers who get rest can keep caring for longer. A regular break is part of looking after someone, not a step away from it.
Can the council help with breaks?
Anyone looking after someone can ask the council for a carer's assessment (an adult carer support plan in Scotland). It can lead to support, sometimes including help with breaks.
How much notice does a respite carer need?
Agree it at the start. A regular slot is set once; for a holiday, ask a few weeks ahead.
