More than 110 families have benefited from the Family Respite service so far this year (20/10/2019)

The Councilor for Social Rights and Family, Pilar Torres, has attended this morning at the Murcia Park to the day of coexistence of the users of the Family Respite Service.

During this year 117 families have benefited, of which 96 are currently discharged

The Family Respite Service, public service of the City of Murcia, whose management and financing is the responsibility of the Department of Social and Family Rights, through the Family and Social Initiative Section, is a support service for families with people in situation of great dependence that require the continued attention of a primary caregiver.

The main objective of the service is to alleviate the overload to which these main caregivers are subjected, with negative consequences on their physical, psychological, and social and family health status.

In this service, an assistant with training in home help replaces the main caregiver for a few hours and the tasks he performs are of accompaniment and personal attention to the dependent person.

The Family Respite is currently provided with a duration of 12 hours per month, and the family caregiver can choose whether the distribution of these hours is weekly (3 consecutive hours in one day) or biweekly (6 consecutive hours in one day twice a month ).

The main caregiver can also choose the time slot of the service that can be distributed from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 10 pm.

From the Family and Social Initiative Section, the technical team that performs the work is composed of the Head of Section and 2 Social Workers.
