This could mean a staff member sitting in the clients home whilst the Carer/Family Member does errands or socializes with friends. It may be appropriate, with weather permitting and an individual risk assessment completed, that the individual goes out for the day with the staff member. There is also the facility to support clients and Carers by offering a respite service whereby staff would sit with clients whilst the Carer/Family Member goes out for the evening. This can be extended to a night sitting service to ensure Carers/Family Member get a full nights rest. We can provide peace of mind day or night.
