In detail
Respite for family carers offers a break to families who support a loved one losing independence day after day. While we take over, you breathe, work or travel with complete peace of mind. This service, still rare in Morocco, recognises an essential truth: to care well, the carer must also take care of themselves.
What's included
- Handover at home from a few hours to several days
- Keeping your loved one's habits and rhythm of life
- Help with daily living and company during your absence
- A report passed on when you return
- One-off, regular or emergency cover as you need
