The effects of an illness or life-limiting condition affects not only the patients, but also their families and the wider community. Caring for a loved one can be physically, emotionally and mentally demanding.  At Nationwide Extracare Services we provide respite support for carers of elderly clients, dementia care , etc, to enable regular carers, whether a family member or friend, to have a break from their usual support routine. These short breaks help them to resume care responsibilities, feeling refreshed and energized.
