Respite at Home Volunteers offers care and support in cases of serious illness by befriending and offering respite for carers. The Volunteers visit, give practical help where it's needed and become a supporting friend during the illness and beyond, if required. The volunteers aim to complement the statutory services such as community nurses, MacMillan nurses, social workers, hospices and home carers to support the patient and the family. The amount of time given by the volunteer each week depends on the agreed needs of the individual patient, but there is no limit placed on the length of time given by volunteers in supporting both the patient and family/ The Volunteers help is completely free.
