Kinds of respite care

At home: a carer visits for a few hours so you can go out, or stays for a few days or weeks (live-in respite) while you go away. In a care home: a short stay of a week or two, often booked well ahead for holidays. There are 9 CQC-registered care homes in Mansfield Woodhouse; ask which take short stays. Day centres run by the council or charities are another option.

Your right to a carer's assessment

Asking Nottinghamshire council for an assessment.

Booking respite privately

If you pay yourself, ask agencies for their minimum visit length and notice period, and care homes whether they keep rooms for short stays. For a care home, arrange a visit beforehand and share the care plan, medication list and routines so the stay goes smoothly.
