Respite Care

Respite Care at Midlands Care

Respite Care provides a temporary relief placement that offers a break for individuals and their carers. This type of care is most commonly used for a short period, offering the current carers some time away or a holiday and the person being cared for a chance for a change of pace and enrichment.

Respite is an important tool that allows people to prioritise their well-being and in turn have better and more productive day-to-day relationships. Midlands Care offers respite care in Leicester, Nuneaton, Leicestershire and Warwickshire, including short-term respite care and care for a longer period.

This provides an excellent opportunity for a trial period into the world of residential care too.
