Matching the right Carer to an person who needs Respite Care is an important part of the Scheme. It is important to take account of a person's particular needs and wishes.
When the Co-ordinator receives a request from a person needing care, they will take a number of factors into account to see if they have a suitable placement, for example:-
- smoking/non-smoking
- sleeping patterns
- any pets
- stairs and disabled access
Placements only happen when good matches are found, and all parties are happy to proceed.
