Respite Nursing

Feel confident that when permanent Carers need to take a break Consultus Nurses will be there to provide a comparable service that meets all your expectations

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

Placements may be both short and long-term depending on 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.
