Service Overview

Our Respite Care is a short stay, for when a family carer needs to rest, recover, or travel.

Respite clients receive exactly the same daily care as everyone else in the house. Length of stay is agreed in advance, and every stay begins with an assessment by the nurse practitioner.

Why Choose Us

A short stay should feel like the same home as a long one. Our

  • Respite Care gives a family carer a genuine break, knowing the person they care for is somewhere with staff on site day and night.

  • Agreed in advance: Length of stay settled before arrival.

  • The same care: Identical to what long-term clients receive.

  • Assessed first: The nurse practitioner confirms the home suits.

Mum has dementia and we were told a large home was our only option. Here she has her own room, the same faces every day, and someone who knows she takes her tea strong. She has settled in a way we had not seen in two years.
