Respite Care
What is Respite Care?
Respite Care, also referred to as short term care, is temporary living in a care home. At the Village Care home respite care can vary from a few days to a few weeks dependent on the individuals needs.
​
Respite and short term care gives the individual the opportunity to trial the care home environment as well as planning a short term care plan with our general manager.
​
The transition from your home to a care home is a life changing experience, therefore having a trial at The Village Care home with the respite care option is a great way to get a feel of what can be offered if you decide to stay on with us.
"The Village Care Home made my stay very comfortable and nothing was any bother.
Your support and friendliness will not go a miss. Looking forward to staying with you again soon".
Respite care offers the carer as well as the individual being cared for the opportunity to have a breather and relax for the required time needed. Caring for an individual can come with a huge deal of stress and exhaustion therefore it can make a huge difference to your personal and mental health.
Short term stays allows the individual to have a change of environment in a new setting as well as meeting new people. There are also a wide range of activities to keep occupied and have some fun.
Respite care is beneficial for those being cared for. Living alone can sometimes be isolating especially for those who need a little help and assistance.
There is a wide range of support for mental and physical health at The Village Care Home. Whether that is taking a walk around our charming grounds or talking with our friendly care staff.
