Our services East Midlands Carer respite Respite for carers (Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City) Our respite service is designed to help unpaid carers take breaks when it's needed. What we do Our respite service is provided on a flexible basis, whether it's needed for a few hours, days or weeks. We can also provide respite during emergency situations, ensuring that you and the person you're caring for are supported when you need it most. Firstly, we'll speak to both the person being cared for and the person who has providing care – and invite you to talk about yourselves and your situation. Then, we'll draw up individualised plans for temporary care suited to your requirements. We can provide respite to support unpaid carers who are caring for an adult with a range of health conditions and needs including (but not limited to) those who: Are elderly or frail Have a mental health condition Have an issue with drugs and/ or alcohol Have a learning and/ or physical disability Have a life-limiting condition or are at any stage of a terminal illness We are able to support cared-for persons from different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and religions with culturally appropriate care. If your cared-for person does not speak English we will try our best to match them with a respite carer who speaks their language. If you aren't covered by one of these situations, we may be able to offer other services instead. For more information, please get in touch.
