The nursing home respite care (NHRC) provides the following service:

• Help with activities of daily living: Assistance with showering, eating, using the toilet, and other daily activities.

• Nursing care: Managing feeding tubes, catheters, wound care, etc.

• Activities: Physical and social activities, like exercises and outings, to keep residents active.

• Care for mental health conditions: If the nursing home specialises in caring for those with dementia or psychiatric conditions, there will be programmes and activities to slow down the worsening of these conditions.
   

Selected homes may also offer special services such as:

• Short-term respite care for caregivers

• Chronic sick services for those whose medical conditions have long-term complications that require nursing care (e.g. chronic wounds and tracheostomies).
