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. Day centres run by the council or charities are another option.

Your right to a carer's assessment

  • Who: anyone caring for someone else.
  • From: Redcar and Cleveland council, free, separate from the cared-for person's assessment.
  • Looks at: how caring affects you.
  • Can lead to: breaks the council pays for, a personal budget for carers, or other support.

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.
