Ensuring you or your loved is kept safe
The carer will need their own room, a clean bedroom with some furniture and a television. They need access to a bathroom; this can be shared or en-suite to their room.
Your Carer is entitled to time off.
We do our best to ensure your loved one’s care is as consistent as possible. However, like all jobs, your carer needs time off.
There are typical patterns to care:
Your primary carer will work two or three weeks, they live-in, working 12 hour per day, with two hours of breaks during the day.
The primary carer will then take a week off and we will substitute one of our respite carers for the week, again they live-in, working 12 hours per day.
After this week your primary carer returns for another two or three weeks.
