Respite Care

Respite care at Pottersway House offers short-term support for residents, giving primary caregivers a much-needed break from their daily duties and responsibilities. Regardless of the reason for needing respite care, we provide comprehensive services that address a wide range of medical and wellbeing needs.

We take great pride in ensuring that all residents and their loved ones using our respite care service feel comfortable, safe and happy during their stay.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is ideal for those needing short-term primary care coverage. Whether someone has experienced a fall, is recovering from an illness, or a caregiver needs a brief break, respite care provides temporary relief and support.

Lasting typically a few weeks, these care breaks can be planned or unplanned, depending on the situation. Additionally, respite care offers an opportunity to experience life in a care home before deciding on a permanent move.

Respite Care FAQs

Respite care is available to individuals who want to trial life in a care home, or who require assistance with activities of daily living and who have a caregiver who needs a break from their caregiving responsibilities. If you believe your loved one needs full-time care, respite care can be used to trial our home for 3 weeks or longer to see if it’s right as a long-term solution.

During a person’s stay, the individual will receive assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and meal preparation. Nursing care may also be provided, depending on the individual’s medical needs. We also offer an activities programme that helps to promote mental and emotional wellbeing.

The length of stay for respite care will vary depending on the needs of the individual and the availability of respite care beds. We can offer respite care from 3 weeks, up to a few months and the length of stay for each resident will be determined following an individual care assessment.
