The Nursing Home Respite Care (NHRC) service is a special short-term care service offered at selected nursing homes to support caregivers who:

• Need a short, full-time break for personal or medical reasons

• Need help as their domestic helper goes on home leave

• Require a break at night to rest, as their loved one has challenging night-time behaviour

The senior must:

• Need help in most of their activities of daily living and/ or have daily nursing care needs

• Have a stable medical condition

• Does not need urgent medical attention

• Have a long-term care plan in place

• Have a plan to return home at the end of the respite period
