Caring for a loved one can be a rewarding but challenging responsibility, and we understand that caregivers sometimes need a break to rest, recharge, or attend to other commitments.
Respite care offers a short-term stay in Little Gaynes Rest Home, which can be either planned or unplanned.
Planned Respite Care: This type allows the primary caregiver, often a family member or close friend, to take a break to address their own health and wellbeing needs. It could be for reasons such as aholiday, personal medical needs, or a temporary inability to provide care.
Unplanned Respite Care: This is typically needed when the individual requiring care experiences an accident or illness. The usual caregiver might be unable to provide the necessary 24-hour support while the individual recovers, or while adjustments and additional support services are arranged.
Respite care offers numerous benefits for both the individual needing care and their primary caregiver. It provides a break for the caregiver, while ensuring that the individual’s care needs are met by our trained staff in a safe and welcoming environment.
Each person on a short-term stay will have a personalised care plan created in collaboration with them and their loved ones. This ensures that all care needs are addressed, whether they require residential, nursing, or dementia care.
During their stay, individuals will have access to activities and social interactions that might not be as readily available at home. They can enjoy companionship with other residents and our caring team, as well as participate in various activities and events. Our in-house catering teams prepare a variety of home-cooked meals, ensuring a positive and enjoyable experience.
A short-term stay can also serve as an opportunity to experience life in a care home before making a permanent decision. It allows individuals and their families to sample the care, support, companionship, and dining experiences available.
Navigating the care sector can be challenging and emotional, and it’s natural to feel unsure about your options. We are here to help guide you through the process.
