Respite care is a short-term stay, lasting from one to several weeks, in a care home. Respite breaks can be planned to give the regular care giver time for a holiday or unplanned, in cases of emergency such as post-operation care after discharge from hospital.
Often, a respite break is arranged to give a carer a holiday from their care-related duties. This is particularly common when friends or family members are acting as a carer and allows them time to look after their own health and well-being. Respite care at Grand View can be a wonderful way to care for your loved one.
- Experience a change of scenery:
Much like enjoying a whole host of interesting activities, a simple change of scenery can be extremely stimulating for anyone wanting respite care. Grand View is designed to make you feel at home. It is decorated by an award-winning interior designer to feel luxurious and we have created wonderful gardens. - Socialise:
One of the most beneficial aspects of taking a respite care break at Grand View is the increased social interaction. After spending the majority of one’s time with their carer, a short respite break is a good opportunity to speak to new people. Our Welland Arms is also a must go place to socialise and enjoy a glass of wine or beer on the house! - Enjoy renewed energy:
The well-being of the family care giver is just as vital as that of the person they are caring for. If a care giver is feeling worn out or stressed, the chances are this will negatively impact the quality of care they can offer. A respite care stay at Grand View will ensure your regular care giver returns to their caring duties with renewed energy and vitality.
