Respite care

Description of service

This service is provided by Derbyshire County Council for adults who require temporary assistance with personal care through disability, frailty, mental ill health or because they are recovering from a period of ill heath or family difficulty. The service also enables carers who provide a substantial amount of support to have a break from caring. Sometimes, as part of a long term care plan, the service is offered at regular and planned intervals.

For children, Social Services has two residential units which offer respite facilities for children with disabilities.

Contact: your local Social Services Office and ask for the duty worker.
