Respite Care

Respite Care is temporary care that allows family carers to take a short-term break from caring for their loved one

Respite Care

Caring for your loved one is a worthwhile and special role, but it can be a demanding one, both physically and emotionally. At Africare, we understand the importance of looking after yourself. Our care assistants can look after your loved one on a short term basis, while you get a well deserved rest. We will work with you to ensure that we follow the same care routine that you have in place, in order to maintain continuity of care, and minimise the disruption to your loved one.
