Respite Care

Respite care may be the right choice if:

• You are a family carer who needs a break - for a holiday, to recover from illness, or simply because you need time for yourself
• Your loved one's regular carer is temporarily unavailable
• You are going into hospital or dealing with an unexpected situation and need cover
• Your loved one has recently been discharged from hospital and needs short-term support before returning home
• You would like your loved one to experience care home life before making a longer-term decision

Respite stays can last from two weeks to several months, depending on what you need. Our teams will always talk through the options with you openly so you can make the right choice without pressure.
