Overnight respite at the Epilepsy Society
Respite, or 'short breaks' are designed for people and their families, to give them a change from their daily routine and to give parents and carers a break from the demands of their role. Carers may wish to go on holiday, or simply have a break and can feel assured that when their loved one comes to Epilepsy Society for their own break, will be well taken care of.
We accept private, and local authority funding. If you want to find out more about how the local authority supports carers with respite - you will need to contact them and request a Carers Assessment.
