Grey Gables will happily take a temporary resident for a minimum of two weeks.
Whether it is to go on holiday, see family, catch up on work or simply to take some much needed you time, we will nurture their needs so you can really switch off and enjoy that time without having to worry about your loved one’s safety or needs.
Caring for a loved one, especially someone with long-term needs or disabilities, can be incredibly rewarding but also demanding. Taking a break, or respite care, can be vital for both you, the caregiver, and the person you're caring for.
Here's a look at respite care in the UK:
Respite care is temporary support for someone who needs care, giving the caregiver a break. It can range from a few hours to several weeks.
Short-term stays at Grey Gables offer 24/7 support and a change of environment for both the care recipient and the caregiver.
Taking a break allows you to recharge physically and mentally, making you a better caregiver in the long run.
Improves quality of life for everyone: Respite care can provide the care recipient with new experiences and social interaction, while giving you time for yourself or other family members.
Respite care can help the care recipient stay independent for longer by providing temporary support when needed.
