Respite information

About: Adult Services, Resources - Housing Support and Care At Home Service

(as a carer),

My mother lives full time  with myself and my husband and has been for the past three years. At the moment I can cope with this as she is in good health for her  100 years  and does not need nursing care. The problem for me is that I don't use respite services, so that I can get a break occasionally, she has home carer visiting once a day to provide medication to her legs but not at weekends.   I do not know what respite services are available as no one seems to offer this service to me.
