Crossroads Care Wokingham provides short breaks for unpaid family carers to give them ‘Me Time’. We come into your home, step into your shoes and give you a break from the day-to-day stresses of caring. This might be for a short period or longer, for an overnight stay or a weekend …we’re flexible …it’s all about what you need.
Taking a break in this way takes the pressure off you. It gives you time-out for yourself, e.g. for a game of golf or a cup of tea with your friends. This makes it possible to re-connect with your family and friends, clubs and societies and to go back to or remain in employment. Above all, it gives you a life beyond caring!
For people with care needs, we will engage them with meaningful activities to enhance their quality of life. This might be going out for a walk, visiting interesting places or café, pursuing a hobby or simply enjoy the fresh air in an open environment. For people with limited mobility or severe health condition, we can bring outdoor activities to indoor so that they could enjoy their life to full.
We also provide covers for carers to attend appointments or in an emergency crisis situation.
We welcome both regular or ad hoc bookings which can be pre-booked or at short notice.
