What is respite care and when is it useful? Respite care refers to a short-term placement often as little as one week long to a care or nuring home. It could be arranged by the resident themselves, social services or the family and is often associated with enabling the main carer or carers to have a break or holiday. Respite care can be very rewarding therefore for not only the resident but the carer or family.


It is important when searching for respite care near me that you consider whether the home has in place special arrangements for respite care. Ideally, staff would be used to receiving respite residents who have less time to settle in than longer term placements. The home also has to fill in same amount of paperwork and care plans so this has to be factored into assessing which respite care home near me is suitable. Also, when searching respite care near me look for recommendations from relevant industry sites and also speak to social services and ask for three references from previous residents or their family members.


Due to Covid, the industry generally saw substantially fewer respite stays, for example due to fear about admitting a resident to a home, but this is expected to gradually increase.

Our fee rate starts from £1150 per room. In the event you are wholly or partially funded by social workers, please email or call the Home for more information. The Home retains the Funded Nursing Care to pay for our nursing costs and this is made clear in our contracts.


We aim to keep our charges in line with other similar homes. Depending upon your ability to pay, your local authority may pay some of the costs towards your care. Your local authority will assess your income including your pension and benefits as well as any savings you may have and possibly your home if nobody else lives with you. The value of your home will not be counted towards this until 12 weeks after your admission to permanent nursing or residential care.
You may also be entitled to other benefits, which include Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit. For more information, please contact the Benefit Enquiry Line on 0800 88 22 00 or speak to your GP, nurse or indeed feel free to call us for more information.
