Breaks from Caring

Being a carer can be physically and emotionally challenging, and it's important you have the opportunity to take a break from your caring role.

A break from caring may be needed to deal with other family responsibilities or to attend a doctor or dentist appointment. In other situations, a Short Break such as a holiday may be necessary.

Our Short Breaks Statement is for carers living in South Ayrshire. It explains:

  • What Short Breaks are
  • What kind of Short Breaks are available
  • Who can get this type of Short Break
  • How to access a Short Break

Our Short Breaks Statement will be revised on an annual basis or in response to any new development.

For more information on Short Breaks please contact 0300 123 0900.
