Respite Services in Carlisle, Kendal and Keswick, Cumbria
Caring for an older person can be relentless. Many carers struggle to find time to care for themselves - whether it’s popping to the hairdresser, having an evening out or taking a well-earned holiday.
If you need a break, we can help. Whether it’s just for a few hours or for a few weeks, you can rest assured that your loved one will be safe and happy at one of our homes. Our respite care is available during the day, for an evening, overnight or for longer periods. It’s best to plan and book respite care in advance, but we can also look after people with little notice or on an emergency basis.
Respite visitors enjoy the same standards of care as permanent residents. They are free to use all our facilities and to join in any activities or entertainments as they wish. We carry out a thorough pre-admission assessment with our prospective visitors, their carer and/or relatives, so we can get to know them and agree many of the details of their stay.
This means not just particular care or medical needs, but also their likes and dislikes about meals and how they like to spend their time.
We are also happy to carry out special requests - for example, assisting a daycare visitor with bathing in our specially adapted bathrooms, or arranging a visit to our in-house hairdressing salon.
