Respite care can include a short stay in residential or other accommodation, services from a care worker at the cared for person's home, or support with leisure and other activities outside home. We can provide care workers who will give support in the cared for person's home whilst the carer goes out, or for an overnight stay. Respite may be provided in the form of meals on wheels or other homecare support. Longer term respite care is generally provided in a residential home or other accommodation, usually for an overnight stay but possibly for a longer time.

Respite care may be available to give carers and the people they are caring for a break.

Local service (Fylde, Hyndburn, Lancaster, South Ribble, West Lancashire, Wyre, Burnley, Chorley, Pendle, Preston, Ribble Valley, Rossendale).

People who access respite care may be required to contribute towards the cost. A financial assessor will visit to discuss how much someone will need to contribute towards the cost of their care, and to ensure they are receiving all the benefits they are entitled to.
