What does a short break/respite service for carers mean?
Looking after someone who has difficulties because of long-term illness, disability, or old age, can be very demanding. If you would like to have a regular break, but are worried about leaving the person you care for on their own, social work can help providing a respite period or short break. Respite care or short breaks can be provided by social work or voluntary organisations.
