Time for relaxation.
Often, carers feel they are unable to peruse their own hobbies , as there is no free time for relaxation.
Using a respite carer from Temple Healthcare means that carers are able to take time for themselves, without feeling guilty that they are neglecting their duties.
RENEWED ENERGY
Caring is tiring work.Time away from the home can provide much needed rest, to allow carers to resume their duties feeling refreshed and energised.
For away jobs it is important to have break, to allow the body and mind to recover from pressures of caring for loved ones.
REDUCING SOCIAL ISOLATION
Using respite care can have social benefits for both the service user and the carer.
For those who are , it can be the only time they see someone beyond extended family. A new friendly face can reduce the social isolation many housebound can feel.
For the carer, knowing that knowing their relative is well looked after can allow time to maintain friendships and socialise outside of the home. This is often very difficult for a primary caregiver to manage.
