Your respite options

  • Respite at home: a few hours of visits, or a live-in carer for days or weeks while you are away.
  • Care home stay: usually one or two weeks, booked well ahead for holiday periods. There are 3 CQC-registered care homes in Harworth; ask which take short stays.
  • Day centre: run by the council or a charity.

Start with a carer's assessment

If you look after someone, you are entitled to your own free carer's assessment from Doncaster council, separate from the assessment of the person you care for. It looks at the effect caring has on you and can lead to funded breaks, a carer's personal budget or other support. Carers UK runs a free helpline on 0808 808 7777. Asking Doncaster council for an assessment.

If you are paying privately

  • Agencies: ask for the minimum visit length and the notice they need.
  • Care homes: ask whether rooms are kept for short stays, and visit before booking.
  • Before the stay: share the care plan, the medicines and the daily routine.
