When to arrange respite care

• you need additional support – perhaps after feeling unwell.
• your loved one needs help to recover from an illness or operation.
• you are considering moving your loved one into a care home permanently, and they would like a trial visit.
• the person you are caring for is feeling lonely and might benefit from spending some time among other people in a care home.
• You want a break from living alone and want to enjoy what a care home offers for a short time.
