Respite

We are aiming to sort out all outstanding respite calls for the weekend and for Monday/Tuesday next week. If there are any left unconfirmed by the respite agency we will inform carers with bookings and give them the relevant number to enquire directly with the agency. In the unlikely event you do not receive a call and you have no information about a respite booking for the weekend/early next week, here are some numbers for the most common agencies we use. If you do not know the agency you use, the most common ones we refer people to are London Care and Thames Homecare.
