Respite care is any service of limited duration, that has a primary function of providing a break from a caring situation.
The break should be a positive experience to both the cared for person and their carer. Any secondary functions, like personal care needs being addressed or a Day Service being used as the most appropriate place for the respite, should not alter the fact that the care was provided for the main purpose of providing a break from a caring situation.
