Why does Laurel Green Care give it’s carers a longer break than other care companies?
Laurel Green Care's model of care is to provide carers for longer periods of time (typically 8-12 weeks), whereas most other providers will provide a carer for 2 weeks, on average. Working for longer periods between holidays provides a greater level of continuity to the client in their care. However, we also strongly believe in looking our carers’ wellbeing, and so by giving longer daily breaks we can help to prevent fatigue and burnout.
