Care services outside your home


Find out about the many local services which provide short periods of care or support away from the home. These services can help with recovery or rehabilitation, give adults regular activities and/or support sessions to attend, or provide families and carers a break from their caring role.

Find details of these services on our Locate - care and support in County Durham website.
