Caring for an older friend or relative is an act of love, but it can also be exhausting. Respite care, allows family carers to recharge. Whether it's taking a holiday, focusing on your health, or handling personal responsibilities, respite care ensures your loved one is in a safe and supportive environment while you take the break you need.
Respite care is a great way to explore long-term care options. A short stay allows families to assess how their loved one adjusts to the environment and compare different care homes before making a decision.

After a fall or illness requiring a hospital visit, older adults may need extra time to recover before returning home. Respite care provides a short-term solution, allowing for additional time to convalesce in a secure and nurturing setting. This step helps smooth the transition from hospital to home.
In residential care settings, our care teams work closely with local community-based healthcare professionals such as District Nurses, physiotherapists or Occupational therapists to ensure people's ongoing care needs are met.
Respite care offers older adults a chance to socialise and form meaningful friendships, combating feelings of isolation. These connections often last beyond the stay, with opportunities to stay in touch and meet up after leaving care.
Visitors are welcome at our care homes at any time and many people who have stayed with us for a respite stay enjoy returning for our weekly coffee mornings and other events.
