Respite Care

Our respite care programme is designed to give people a warm and pleasurable stay, whether it’s short term or a long period of time. A respite stay could last anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the needs of each resident. You can fully rest knowing that a safe and inviting atmosphere awaits you, whether you are caring for a loved one or need a short break yourself.

Residents who schedule a respite stay at Westerton can expect attractive surroundings and days filled with wonderful cuisine, new companions, and the chance to participate in a variety of activities.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is provided to anyone who needs a short break from their daily routines following an illness or operation. Respite Care is a great way for caregivers to get some rest and for us to let a team of healthcare professionals alleviate the stress in their lives.

A respite stay can vary in duration, ranging from a few weeks to several months, contingent on the specific needs of each individual. Respite care serves as an excellent option for those seeking a period of recovery or a trial stay at care home, helping them determine if the care home aligns with their needs and preferences.
