The Carers Emergency Respite Team can provide short term home care to carers who are unable to continue in their normal caring role due to sudden injury, illness or unplanned hospital admission.
We can offer practical help for carers and the person they care for. This could include help with personal care, preparing a meal, shopping, light housework.
Depending on individual circumstances we can provide a series of “pop in” calls or a total “move in” up to a maximum of 48 hours. If further support is needed the Team will make a referral to the most appropriate agency and liaise with family and friends as required.
The Flexible Accessible Breaks Team can provide pre-planned short breaks to carers to provide cover to enable you to enjoy a wide variety of social/everyday activities.
Carers who care for an adult at home in the Sefton area can register for both services.
There is no charge for these services.
Both services are subject to the availability of team members.
"Without the CERT and FAB Team I would not have been able to have a break from my caring role. They have given me support when I needed it the most."
"I have benefited very much by having their support to help with my husband, especially when I had to go to hospital myself."
