The benefits of respite to a carer are:

• Time to do something for themselves and do things that they just cannot do whilst in their caring role (i.e. attend appointments)
• Time to recharge their batteries to feel more able to continue in their caring role
• Time to meet with others and maintain relationships
• Time to enjoy being free to do as they wish (hopefully)
• Time for a break in their routine (and for the person they care for)
