If you care for an older, sick or disabled person in your home, you know how demanding and stressful it can be. Respite for carers means that you can enjoy a well earned break by arranging for temporary care, for a weekend or longer. Many companies offer this service in which a professional and experienced carer will come to your house while you are away on vacation, business or for any other reason. In some cases, the person you are caring for will leave the home and attend a camp or other temporary facility, and be cared for outside the home. Carers are typically carefully matched with their clients, to ensure that they are comfortable with each other and the arrangement is a positive one. Carers will do everything that you are used to doing regularly, such as bathing, feeding, dressing and giving medication.
