Respite service (disability recognition for children and adults)

Respite carers are trained in the specific needs of people with disabilities and provide assistance with daily tasks, relational and occupational support, and ensure the person's well-being.

As required

Organisation designed for wellbeing at home

A social worker visits the home and assesses needs in order to plan interventions according to requirements and availability. The respite service is available during the day, at night, at weekends and on public holidays, for periods of three to nine hours per service. The service is available to anyone with a recognised disability.

Under the supervision of the social worker, and in collaboration with other home care providers, our staff are informed of the situation and work as a team to ensure continuity of service and adapt as best as possible to needs.
