Our services East Midlands Carer respite Respite for carers (Nottinghamshire) Professional home care that enables unpaid carers to take time off. Drawing on our long experience of caring for people, we have seen time and again that being ill, vulnerable or exhausted does not make you weak. In fact, periods of living through illness or caring for frail people often testify to extraordinary levels of resilience. Despite this, it's common for people to feel ground down and somehow not at the centre of their own lives. Our respite service is designed to help unpaid carers achieve a better balance of caring and time off. What we do Our respite service is provided on a flexible basis, whether it's needed for a few hours, days or weeks. We can also provide respite during emergency situations, ensuring that you and the person you're caring for are supported when you need it most. Firstly, we'll speak to both the person being cared for and the person who has providing care – and invite you to talk about yourselves and your situation. Then, we'll draw up individualised plans for temporary care suited to your requirements.
