Respite Nursing

You may feel confident that when permanent Carers need to take a break, Consultus Nurses will be there to provide professional support that gives you and your family total peace of mind

Relatives and Carers can confidently enjoy a short time away, knowing that Consultus Nurses are on hand to provide everyday physical, practical, domestic and emotional support. A Nurse will provide the Client and the Carer with the peace of mind that a healthcare professional is in attendance during the main Carer's absence.

Consultus Respite Nurses can assist with all aspects of personal and Nursing care:

• Medication
• Nutrition
• Continence
• Mobility and hoisting, if necessary
• Companionship
• Daily outings
• Light housework

Placements may be both short and long-term depending upon your needs and requirements. They may be funded privately, by private health insurance or as part of a PCT/LHB package (please see funding options).

If more than one period of respite a year is needed then continuity of care (i.e. providing the same Nurse) can be arranged if this is appropriate.
