Respite care in GALRO is a short-term break away from the daily routines and stresses of everyday life. The duration of the break depends on the needs of the individual service user, their family and available resources.
Respite offers opportunity to take a break in a comfortable, homely, safe and secure environment, where care is provided 24 hours a day by qualified professionals.
Each individual using the service has a Personal Support Plan that details their individual care needs and schedule of activity for their specific respite period.
The service consults daily with the family and/or social worker to give up to date information about the service user’s welfare, and to provide the greatest level of flexibility and efficiency.
