Services by County

Carrow Respite Service is based on a social model of support, responding to individual needs of the service users who are referred. In order to plan and ensure the appropriate levels of support, the service users will be supported within the following defined care groups. This will be determined by their primary condition. Carrow House can only provide respite to those individuals with low support requirements and those that have the physical ability to access all areas of the property required to meet their physical needs.
