This means that <strong>home care and day care<\/strong> can <strong>be used simultaneously<\/strong> without any reduction in services.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, amounts from what is known as <strong>respite care<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>(see below), which have not been used, can also be <strong>used for daycare<\/strong>.
