Respite Care - Award Winning Care from Barchester Healthcare
Everyone deserves time out. Whether you care for a relative, are a professional carer, or are in need of permanent care yourself, taking a break from your usual routine can do wonders for you. Perhaps now is the time to think about the value of respite care.
As a carer you can relax, knowing that your relative, friend or patient is in a safe, welcoming environment with first class care tailored to their needs. A respite stay at a Barchester Home gives many people the opportunity to experience first rate service amongst friendly and welcoming staff and residents.
Respite stays are always short term. Having said that, the relationships they build between the Home and client give great reassurance to all concerned, especially if a longer stay ever becomes necessary. Respite care is also ideal for those who are well enough to leave hospital but not yet well enough to return home.
Home from home
With over 160 homes throughout the UK providing first class nursing or residential care, Barchester Healthcare can meet your needs in a number of picturesque locations.
All Barchester homes have a high standard of décor and furnishings
with ample communal areas and lounges to provide opportunities to socialise.
The Home's Activities Co-ordinator will take account of each residents' personal
preferences to incorporate into the activities programme so you can be as busy
or as relaxed as you like.
We pride ourselves on providing excellent food and our chefs use fresh local
produce wherever possible to create varied and delicious meals. Special dietary
requirements can always be catered for and you can choose to eat in the dining
room or take advantage of room service.
Meeting your individual needs
Our aim is to provide seamless continuity of care and our well-trained and
qualified staff work hard to ensure that everyone’s personal desires
and preferences are respected. You are most welcome to visit any of our homes
and experience our friendly hospitality for yourself. In any event, prior
to admission, you will need to meet the General Manager
either in the convenience of your own home or at the Care Home. The General
Manager can then assess your individual needs and tailor a care plan to suit
you.
Book yourself a well-earned break
Please contact the Home Manager to make a booking. All bookings are subject to availability and assessment of care needs. This can be organised quickly after your initial enquiry and may have to be reviewed prior to admission to ensure the most appropriate level of care is provided. In the meantime, to fully appreciate what we offer, please visit us and talk to our staff and residents.
What does it cost?
As no two people are the same, our Home Manager can advise you of the cost once the level of care and the length of stay you require has been established. In all circumstances, the fee will include 24 hour care, a comprehensive activity programme and hotel and laundry services. Payment is usually required in advance or at the start of the stay.
