During this time the live-in care worker must be away from the client. They might either decide to spend time in their room watching a film or they may choose to leave the house for a walk or to meet friends.

At this stage the care worker might undertake some light household duties such as dusting and hoovering whilst the client rests or they may decide to bake a cake together, read a book or continue the puzzle with the care worker providing as much or little assistance as required.
