She didn't dismiss Dad, she treated him as a person which I thought was wonderful. We could have kissed her. The thought that someone would come and take that burden and responsibility away. Not that Dad was a burden, but it was difficult." Jacqueline Tourney speaks of the care given to her Father, Jack Strange, by the Respite Home Care Team What is Respite Palliative Homecare? Caring for someone at home is a full time job with very little time off and this can place both physical and emotional strain on families and carers. The Respite Teams have been developed to reduce the stresses and strains placed on personal and professional carers at this difficult time, by offering practical support, nursing care and nursing/medical advice. Although hospital or hospice admission is sometimes unavoidable, input from the Respite Teams means that people have the choice of staying in the comfort of their own home, or being discharged home from hospital/hospice, where that is their or their carers expressed wish. How much does it cost? There is no cost as the service is fully funded by Salford and Trafford Primary Care Trusts. What type of care is provided and for how long? The Respite Teams consist of experienced qualified and unqualified nurses who are trained to give specialist nursing care within peoples' own homes. They complement and supplement the care provided by the District Nurses, Macmillan Nurses, Marie Curie Nurses and other Community Services with the full knowledge of your family/hospital doctor. The nurses provide nursing care to the poorly person and emotional support for the patient and carers. The amount and type of care provided will depend on individual needs and usually will be arranged following discussion with the patient, their carers and the District Nurse. How many visits can I have? There is no limit to the number of visits but initially care will be provided for a period of two weeks before the needs of the patient and their carer will be reassessed. Who can have Respite Homecare? The Respite Teams will provide care to any person with palliative care needs who lives in Salford or Trafford and wishes for the care to be provided in their own home. How do I get help? You can ask your doctor, district nurse or Macmillan nurse to contact the Respite Team Co-ordinator. The co-ordinator may then need to visit you at home in order to organise the appropriate carers and arrange the amount and type of care required. How will I know who is coming to help? Your District Nurse will be informed and will pass on the information to you. In some instances the Respite Team Co-ordinator may contact you direct.
