What Are Short Break Services?
Short breaks are designed for people with a learning disability and their families, to give them a change from their daily routine and to give parents and carers a break from the demands of their role. Short breaks are incredibly important – caring, even for someone you love, can be an exhausting experience, which can leave you little time for yourself or other members of your family. A good short break should be regular, reliable and frequent. It should also be flexible enough to fit in with your family’s needs, and accessible in case of an emergency.
Where Are Short Break Services Available?
We can provide support in the family home or in the community. In some areas we also have building-based short breaks facilities. We can also enable individuals to take a short break away from home.
About Us
Our aim is to create a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child and young adult can thrive whilst every parent or carer can take a well-deserved break with a peace of mind. For over a decade, New Horizons Management Services has supported children, young people and adults with complex needs, learning disabilities and communication challenges. We believe every individual deserves dignity, respect and the opportunity to live as independently as possible. Our caring and experienced support workers are dedicated to making a real difference, whether it’s through short breaks, personal care or social and leisure activities designed to build confidence, independence and joy.
