Short breaks

To support families with their care requirements, following an assessment, the person being cared for may have the option of a 'short break' either:

through a residential facility (for those with high support needs), or
through a family placement

You may also want to look at other flexible solutions using a personal budget.

Book at short break at Flaxman Avenue. Flaxman Avenue gives adults with learning disabilities a welcome change of scenery, and the chance to try new activities and meet new people. Eligible adults can be referred to have short breaks.

Short breaks for carers may also be available.
