Planned Residential Respite Care for Older People

East Lothian Council, on behalf of East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership, has a requirement for two residential respite beds in a care home(s) within in the East Lothian Council area (preference is for nursing level care but ELHSCP may consider residential level), which will provide episodes of registered care and support on a planned and rolling basis - thus relieving the main carer(s) of their caring responsibilities for a period of time and so providing them with the opportunity for a respite break also known as a short break.
