Home Based Care

If you are the parent or carer of a child with complex needs, you can access a home based short break with Crossroads Together. We offer individual and flexible services and work with every family to organise support when it is needed the most.

The service places our highly skilled carer support workers in the family home to allow a carer to have a much-needed break. The breaks also offer children the opportunity to engage in a meaningful, fun activity, either at home or out in the community.

We offer home based care and support on a not for profit chargeable basis. We offer home based breaks across Greater Manchester, Merseyside & Midlands – Contact Us

In addition, in some areas we can offer free to access support where we are commissioned by the local authority; Bury Council, Salford City Council and Wirral Council.

Group Based Short Breaks

We run weekend social activity groups for children and young people with a disability and/or complex needs.  Groups run during term time and school holidays, providing a break for parent carers who can be reassured that there child is participating in fun activities in a safe environment with qualified care staff.  Groups offer an exciting activity programme planned around the needs of each child and young person.  The groups provide positive experiences by promoting friendship and encouraging social activities, new experiences and supportive relationships.

We have over 30 years’ experience in running social activity groups for children and young people with disabilities and complex needs.  Our highly skilled, professional care teams can provide personal care and support for a range of conditions and disabilities including epilepsy, PEG feeding, medication administration, and continence support alongside supporting those with ASC.

All groups are fully accessible for children and young people that use wheelchairs, hoists or that use other equipment.
