Welcome to Index Care.
Respite Care
Services for you as a Caregiver.
Taking responsibility and caring for a friend or family member who has Autism, Mental Health or Learning Disabilities can be enormously rewarding; it can also be physically and emotionally draining as well as isolating.
Taking care of your needs when you need it:
- Take the opportunity to reduce stress, restore your energy and help to keep your life in balance.
- Whether it’s for a few hours a week so that you as a carer can run errands.
- A longer day session, when you need it.
- Taking care of your care needs when you need it a few weeks a year, to take a much needed holiday.
Index Care Respite Care can also play an important part in the transition for those individuals who are looking to live away from the parental home.
Your Carer's Assessment may identify that you need a break from caring from time to time. Equally, the person you care for may also want to have a break without you.
The Index Care Respite Service is designed to replace the care that you, as a carer, would normally be giving the person you care for, so you can look after your own health and well being.
When planning for a much needed break from your care giving duties, make sure to keep your loved one in the loop, by getting their input in deciding how much time you will be away, who will fill in for you, being sure to tell them how they will benefit from you being more relaxed and refreshed and how they are going to be spending their time away.

‘Setting up Index Care has been Mary Phillips’ wish, her aspiration and her lifelong dream.’
This journey encouraged her to develop a scheme where adults with special needs and learning disabilities could live as independently as possible, getting the correct support and care.
