We can provide short-term stay in our care home, designed to support both you as the caregiver and the person you’re caring for. As a caregiver, respite care let’s you take a break or enables you to take time out to get things done.
What is respite care?
Respite care is the term used for services designed to give you a break from caring. It can come in many forms.
Someone might come in to look after the person you care for on a regular basis, or take them out to an activity group or day centre.
It might mean you can go on holiday, with or without the person you care for. If you’re going away without the person you care for, they may have a temporary stay in a residential care.
How We Support You?
Many of our homes offer 24-hour respite care for people who need extra support following an operation or illness, or for temporary care while their regular carer takes a well-earned break.
We’re here to support you with short-term stays in our care homes as and when you need them, and our advance respite stays are perfect for helping you and your loved ones to plan ahead.
Being a full-time carer is a very demanding role. Respite care breaks are an opportunity for carers to take a holiday or simply spend some time looking after their own needs, safe in the knowledge that their loved one is receiving the very best care. And respite care can be a valuable break for older people too – it’s a chance to meet new people, enjoy a change of scenery and try out some new activities and experiences.
