Respite Care and Carer Support
Respite Care and Carer Support services are
designed to provide a short term break for people and their carer/
support person. There are a number of ways that Geneva Care
can offer this support for you and your family.
Respite Care is traditionally done out of the home, in a
residential facility, which does not always meet the exact needs of
the client, but is sometimes the only option for many. Here
at Geneva Care, we are able to offer appropriately skilled carers
that can come into your home and provide the care, allowing you to
get away for a day or night, or both, or alternatively are able to
provide this care in their own home.
Carer Support is Ministry of Health funded support, with the
objective of giving the primary carer additional support, enabling
them to take a break. Geneva Care is able to provide
the supplementary carer support for you in your home or even away
from home.
The funding for both of the above is varied, and for more
information regarding this, please contact Geneva Care on 0508 466
322, who can create a plan with you, and explain the different
funding and care options with you.
