We offer a safe, homely environment for a child to come and stay for a short break that gives their families a rest from their caring role.
In addition to short-break respite, we can also help families in other ways -
Day-care options
Specialist play-schemes during school holidays
After- school care service during term-time
Help for families in their own homes
Help for children at school
Parenting advice
Emergency, short notice care

During that break, children enjoy a range of fun activities and experiences with our staff who specialise in taking care of children with disabilities. Our service is very much a ‘home from home’ for the children who stay with us there.

Taking care of a child with a disability can be very demanding. For families with more than one child, it can mean having less time to focus on other children. It can lead to unsettled sleep and less time out to relax and recuperate. Our specialist disability services are designed to take the weight off, and provide a package of support that works for you.

 

Families can get help from Aberlour Options Borders, using Self-Directed Support. For information about funding please see the pdf document attached to the right of the screen or you can call 0800 0856 150 or email: sds@aberlour.org.uk

We also take referrals from local authorities.
