Introduction

Traditionally, most Short Breaks have been provided in care homes. This type of break works very well for some people. However, in recent years there has been an increased demand for a greater variety of Short Breaks.

We have included some examples (case studies) of Border's people who have arranged breaks in a number of different ways. This may help you to consider what would suit you best. Each case study includes an example of how the Council’s charging policy works.
