What does respite care involve and who might benefit from it?

Respite care is designed to provide temporary relief to primary carers, offering them a break while providing continued support to their loved ones. This service might benefit carers of individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities or the elderly who require constant supervision and assistance. Respite care can be arranged for just a few hours, overnight or for longer periods, depending on the needs of the carer and the individual receiving care.

What is involved in complex wound care at home?

Complex wound care at home encompasses the management and treatment of wounds that are difficult to heal due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, vascular diseases or immobility. This service is managed by healthcare professionals who perform regular assessments and apply advanced wound care techniques and dressings to promote healing. The care plan may include cleaning the wound, managing infection and monitoring for any signs of complications. The goal is to minimise discomfort and the risk of infection.
