Absence calculation + Read more ... A carer provides care on Tuesday morning and the care receiver enters respite that same day. They provide care again on the Friday afternoon that the care receiver returns home from respite. This would result in a total of 2 respite dates being coded. The start date is Wednesday and the end date is Thursday. This is because the carer is taken to have provided care on the Tuesday and again on the Friday. There are only 2 full 24 hour periods from midnight to midnight that the care receiver was absent. |
