Respite care and short breaks

Respite care homes

Whether you are a full-time professional carer, you care for a relative on an informal basis, or are in need of permanent care yourself, taking a break from your usual routine can be the solution that works for you.

As a carer you want to relax, knowing that your relative, friend or client is in a safe, welcoming environment with personalised care and support tailored to their needs. A short stay at one of our care or nursing care homes can give people the opportunity to experience a short break among friendly, welcoming staff and it's also a chance to meet with other people we support as well.

Many of our care homes are happy to arrange a trial stay to allow the individual to see if the home is the right choice for them as their new permanent home.

We also offer short breaks in dedicated facilities for children with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions and other complex needs including health and medical needs. We can offer just one night or a longer short break stay, and work closely with families and professionals to ensure continuity in our approach and the provision of support.
