The benefits of respite care
When looking after another person, we can sometimes forget to take care of ourselves. Respite care gives you the opportunity to focus on yourself and your own needs, whether this is a trip to the shop, meeting a friend or going on holiday.
Focussing on your own health is not only beneficial for your own wellbeing, it will also help you provide even better care for your loved one, as you will be less tired, feel more alert and be in better spirits. This means that you can be an even more attentive carer overall.
