How to get a short break
Another way that your local council can help is by helping
you take a short break.
The person you’re caring for may be able to stay in a care home
for a few days, giving you the chance to have a rest and recharge
your batteries.
Alternatively, someone may be able to come to your home and help
with looking after the person you care for.
You may be charged for this, or the council may pay. But there
is no charge for a stay in any NHS facility.
