As a carer it is important to look after your own needs, as well as those of the person you care for. You may feel guilty about leaving the person you care for or they may be reluctant to let someone else look after them. However, caring can be very stressful and having some time off to rest, relax and refresh yourself will benefit both you and the person you care for.
The “Take a Break” scheme administered by Carers of Epsom helps people take a break from caring by providing financial assistance towards the cost of going on holiday or taking a short respite break.
