Our warm and friendly respite care service
Our respite services provide temporary care for older people and those living with dementia in the homely environment in our luxury care homes. We can support any length of planned short-term care and time-limited breaks, either as a bit of extra support while you recover and recuperate after a hospital stay, or when regular carer is taking a break to recharge their batteries.
We understand that it can be a little unsettled or worrying for both you and your family when you use our respite care service for the first time. That’s why we offer a warm welcome when you arrive at the home and do everything we can to help you settle in and enjoy your stay with us.
On arrival, you’ll be introduced to your key worker, a named member of staff responsible for ensuring you have everything you need during your stay with us and who acts as a point of contact for you and your family. Your key worker will show you to your room and, when you’re ready, take you around the home and introduce you to some of the other people living there too.
Respite care is available for any period of time and is arranged to suit you and your needs. You’re welcome to stay with us for a couple of days, a few weeks or even a few months.
