At Surrey Choices we provide overnight, daytime, and long-term respite support through our Short Breaks and Shared Lives services. We can help you to find the most appropriate solution by understanding what support you and your family member need.
Long-term Living Arrangements
Shared Lives offers a long-term personalised service by welcoming young people and adults in need of support into a Shared Lives Carer’s home, family and community life.
The person is matched with a Carer who has similar interests and wants to help them to achieve their personal goals no matter how big or small they are.
Short Breaks
Surrey Choices can support you as a Carer to give you a Short Break from caring while the person you care for is safely looked after. We do this through our Short Breaks Banstead service, Shared Lives and our Evening and Weekend Respite service.
Our Short Breaks offer is for:
- People with additional support needs living at home with their family or Carer
- Those whose family or Carer needs a break
- An emergency Short Break such as when a family member or full time Carer needs to stay in hospital or when circumstances change at home and more support is needed
- When a person is recovering from a stay in hospital and needs additional support
