There are lots of different places to have a short break, known as respite.
Respite care can be when:
- The person who usually supports you takes a break.
- You have a break.
- You and the person who supports you have a break together.
Kirklees Council has two respite services for adults with learning disabilities - Mill Dale and Cherry Trees.
How to get respite
- First you need a social care assessment.
- If the council think you need respite care, this will be put in your support plan.
- Contact us to discuss your short break.
