Short term care

What is short-term care?

Short-term care is any care that is in-permanent. The most popular type of care is in-home care, sometimes known as restorative care. This involves one or many carers performing tasks that an elderly person may struggle to do autonomously such as cleaning, personal care and hygiene, and preparing meals.

Other short-term care types include respite care to give carers a break, and transition care; helping people who have just had surgery.
