Respite Care

We have re-started our Respite Care Services !

During the Covid 19 pandemic we unfortunately had to cease our respite services as, due to their nature, service users coming in and out of the home for short periods of time was not safe for them, for residents or staff.  Now that all our residents and staff have been vaccinated we are able to re-start our respite services as we know how valuable they are for service users and their families and carers.

Respite guests

Respite guests can come to us throughout the year and stays can be booked as far ahead as you like. Visits might be for a couple of nights or a week, or longer. This can enable carers to get a much needed break or guests may wish to convalesce or have a supported holiday.

Respite guests will have access to our purpose-built respite rooms which are on the ground floor and open out onto a small patio area or an upstairs room if that suits their needs better. Person centred, client led activities which could include arts and crafts, games and puzzles, and in house entertainments are all available.

Families and carers and friends can benefit from and have confidence that their loved one is being well looked after and occupied, thus giving them a well earned, carefree rest.
