Level 1

7 to 14 days per year to support Carer’s attending personal appointments or regular activities.

Level 2

14 to 28 days per year offers the same level of Carer support and includes a supported strategy to build skills and capabilities for future independence.

Level 3

Equivalent of 28 days per year, This is provided to more vulnerable Carer’s, who are the primary day to day support, these Carers are offered more due to the complexity of care offered on a daily basis to ensure the best chance of recharging.
