Health and social work services

Tender description

The Community Based Short Breaks service will provide unpaid carers with a break from caring. This will benefit their health and well-being, which means that they can continue to help maintain the health and well-being of the person that they care for, support that person's independence and enable them to stay in their own homes for longer. This will be achieved through a paid care-worker taking over the caring role while the carer has a break and may include: — sitting with the cared-for person in their own home, — accompanying the cared-for person on a short trip or outing, — supporting the cared-for person to access local activities that they enjoy but are unable to access themselves using their own resources and networks and/or other commissioned or non-commissioned services.
