Respite care is often made from bits and pieces from services which are meant to be integrated, but not at the top of many agendas. This means that respite care uses borrowed funding and secondhand policies and practices. A survey in Scotland examined four types of respite care: hospital, residential, family-based, and domiciliary for seven main groups: older people, people with dementia, those with mental health problems, and children and adults with learning and physical disabilities, to find out the reality for carers. Also explores the possibilities for improving services for them.
