What is Respite Care?

Respite care is short-term care designed to give primary caregivers a temporary break from their responsibilities. It provides an opportunity for caregivers to rest, recharge, or attend to other commitments, knowing their loved ones are in safe hands. For example, a caregiver might need time off to handle personal matters, take a holiday, or recover from an illness. Respite care ensures that their loved ones continue to receive the best possible care during this period.

At Upper Mead Care Home, our respite care programme offers the perfect retreat, whether it’s for a few weeks or a few months. Our skilled nursing staff are trained to provide comprehensive support tailored to each resident’s needs, including medical care, daily living assistance, and companionship.
