What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term care option that allows individuals to receive professional care on a temporary basis. Whether a loved one needs additional assistance after a stay in the hospital to help them get back on their feet, or whether you need to recharge from full-time caregiving duties, our care home has everything a person requires to feel themselves once more.

Respite care is a good short-term solution for those who are looking after loved ones at home who need a break from their everyday care duties. Those in need of dementia care can receive dementia care in a care home setting for a few weeks initially. For many, this often becomes a permanent solution once the dementia progresses and becomes too difficult for loved ones to manage at home, but each circumstance is different.
