• Caregiving is a demanding, difficult job and no one is equipped to do it alone. Using respite care before you become exhausted, isolated, or overwhelmed is ideal, but just anticipating regular relief can become a real lifesaver. Relatives and Carers can confidently enjoy a short time away, knowing that a HomeHelp.ie Carer is on hand.

Personal respite for a primary carer varies as much as the individual and could mean:
• Giving the caregiver a short break to attend an appointment or to go shopping
• Allowing the caregiver the opportunity to nap, bathe, or otherwise rejuvenate him/herself
• Attending a social outing e.g. cinema, dinner, etc
• Taking a much needed holiday or short break away
