Natural Breaks Respite Service, South Glasgow

"My son has things to look forward to and is very safe. That is great for me too!"
Jinty, Carer

Natural Breaks offers unique respite provision to people with mental health difficulties and their carers. The service offers pre-planned respite on a weekly basis. Our repsite is not buildings based, we support individuals to explore their interests and activity options. Our team will also support occassional short breaks, with individuals having recently holidayed in Spain and Blackpool.

We have a specifc and effective approach to respite; this is to support individuals to explore their interests, hobbies and achieve personal goals during their respite time. In addition we support carers to access services to support them and their needs.

"I am very happy with the staff team, I feel that I am supported to follow my hobbies. Life would be very different without Natural Breaks" Sammy

At the last inspection by the Care Commission, Natural Breaks was awarded Grade 5  - Very Good for quality of care and support, staffing and management and leadership. You can read or download the most recent Care Commission inspection by clicking here.
