Respite Care
If only I had someone to look after my partner for a couple of hours while I go shopping!
Do you need occasional extra help caring for someone living with Parkinson’s in Oxfordshire?
We are excited to re-launch our scheme offering financial support for respite care. Any person with Parkinson’s (PwP) resident in Oxfordshire, or a carer on their behalf, can apply to us for a grant to help with the costs of respite care. Up to £1000 per year is available to each applicant. We anticipate this will be enough to fund around 25 to 35 hours of care, but please be aware that costs can vary widely depending on your choice of provider and the type of care you need.
IMPORTANT Before you make any commitment, we urge you to contact our scheme administrator by email respitecare@oxfordparkinsons.org.uk to confirm your eligibility for our financial help.
