A Carer is a family member or friend who provides ongoing unpaid care to a person who is frail aged, has dementia, a disability, is palliative or has a mental illness.
Respite provides an opportunity for Carers to have a “timeout” from their usual caring role and focus on their wellbeing.
Respite care may also assist the cared for in exploring different options and opportunities within the community.
Respite helps maintain a positive relationship between the Carer (family, friend, neighbour) and the individual which they care.
