What is Respite Care?
Respite care is for those who require short-term support. This is a service that is designed to give temporary care to individuals while their primary caregiver takes a well-deserved break. As a full-time caregiver is more than ok to need some time for yourself. Whether you need to handle personal commitments, take a holiday or just recharge and relax, you can feel at ease knowing your loved one is being taken care of in a welcoming, supportive environment.
During a respite stay, our residents will receive quality, tailored care, to ensure they feel comfortable, safe and supported in their environment. Respite care is not only beneficial to caregivers by relieving them of the pressures of daily care responsibilities; but it is also an amazing opportunity for socialising with new people and a change of scenery, while still receiving exceptional care and attention from our team.
