What is Disability Respite Care?

Just like standard respite care, disability respite care offers the chance to take a break from the daily grind in a supportive environment. It’s a great opportunity to rest and do some self-care, with a little help from specialists and carers.

At a respite care accommodation facility like Crescent, you’ve got access to a wide range of support systems and services, as well as spaces to relax and just be yourself. Take some time out in our sensory garden, or learn a new skill and make some friends along the way!
