To us it's personal

In 2021, across both Cheshire East (Knutsford) and West (Northwich), 4.8% of residents reported providing up to 19 hours of unpaid care every week, highlighting the need for respite care in this area. This type of care can be beneficial in giving regular caregivers days off each week, allowing you to pop out for a few hours, or letting your older loved one spend time with someone new and take part in new activities like craft classes or walks in local parks. It can also step in during times of illness, emergencies, burnout, or big life changes, or provide replacement care while you or another caregiver goes on holiday. With respite care you can truly count on, you will feel empowered to enjoy time off knowing your loved one is properly supported.
