This is done by employing and training Care Attendants who go into carers' homes and look after their dependents/loved ones while the carers are out/having a break. This allows carers to continue in their vital caring roles and also benefits the people being cared for at home by providing social interaction, engaging in activities or going out with someone outwith family.
