Private Clients
CSS has accommodation options for private clients where their carers need to take a break. These options include respite for children above 5 years of age as well as people living with disabilities.
Sometimes a short stay away from home:
- gives individuals the chance to try new things.
- can be a place to make new friends, build capacity, or develop new skills.
- may help to maintain their current living situation by giving their informal support (parents/carers) a break.
Most importantly, giving carers a break will help them better manage and improve their health and well-being and prevent burnout.
