Respite
Care
We know that caring for a loved one in your own home, without support, can be challenging. A short respite stay for your loved one at one of our homes gives you the opportunity to take stock and recharge.
Each individual has their own personal care plan and is appointed their own keyworker to work closely with them, to ensure individual needs and personal choices are fully met.
Our homes are designed to mirror a typical family home, this helps people to become familiar with their new surroundings more quickly.
We encourage you to bring some personal items to make you feel more at home in our individually decorated, fully equipped bedrooms.
Our care team encourage residents to take part in the life at the home during their stay. Family and friends are welcome to visit anytime and join in or to stay for a meal or a stroll in the gardens, whatever you are comfortable with.
They will receive the same level of care as any of our permanent residents, with gentle understanding and reassurance throughout.
All of our homes offer respite stays.

Care developed using life histories
