• Respite Care And Holiday breaks

You might want to stay in a care home just for a short term stay, perhaps for a week or two. This may give you a respite period or your carer an opportunity to take a planned break. Some homes will have rooms set aside for respite stays, others can only offer it if there is a room vacant.

Many Barchester homes set in beautiful countryside locations and are ideal destinations for holiday breaks. You may select a home in a desired location and enquire about short break availability.

• Close Care

Some Barchester care homes have Close Care accommodation, often known as ‘Assisted living’. Here you can live independently in an apartment within the grounds of the care home safe in the knowledge that assistance is always close by.

Assisted living may be a good choice for couples who need different levels of care, or if you may want to move into the care home at a later date.

• Intermediate Care

Intermediate care is specialist short-term care designed for patients who are recovering from a recent hospital stay. As a care service it was developed to bridge the gap between hospital and the patients’ home and to ease the transition back home.

Intermediate care enables hospitals to move patients’ from acute beds when they are ready for a period of less intensive care. This provides an improved environment were patients’ can recover in a more therapeutic and comfortable setting.

The service will be predominantly nurse led, but provided by a multidisciplinary team.
