Convalescence & respite care at Hamberley

At Hamberley Care Homes, we understand the immense dedication it takes to care for a loved one in the family home or in their own home. We appreciate the need for carers to take a much-needed break from time to time. A respite from the responsibilities of looking after a loved one.
Perhaps you are seeking to recuperate or convalesce after an operation or illness and are looking for help with cooking, cleaning, and other chores?
Whatever your circumstance, we are here to help you. Why not let us look after you in the comfort and companionship that of our homes provide, leaving you to recharge and recuperate fully, or to convalesce and return home as quickly as possible?

Both our respite and convalescence care services offer short breaks that are thoughtfully designed to provide temporary care. Our team of skilled Homemakers (our carefully selected and trained carers), Nurses, and Wellbeing colleagues work hand in hand to provide full support, ensuring you receive continuity of care and the peace of mind you seek. 

Hamberley's respite and convalescence care offers older people the opportunity to access nursing care, dementia and personal care, and all the benefits of the luxury facilities within our homes. Use us for regular breaks or a one-off stay - and let us be your trusted partner for good care and supportive short stays.

Types of respite care available

For those who might need a little extra support following a period of illness or hospital stay, our respite services offer an ideal environment for recovery. These breaks provide the necessary care, attention, and assistance that individuals might need after an illness or operation before returning to their own home.

For those living with or caring for people with dementia, short term care can provide opportunities for the person to access dementia care from specialist care and nursing teams, and enjoy the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities, while allowing time for caregivers to rest.

Whilst respite care is often arranged to cover a planned holiday or event, sometimes, it's not possible to plan ahead when looking to arrange respite care. In case of emergencies, emergency respite care can be arranged at short notice, ensuring that your loved one is well taken care of as soon as possible, even in unexpected situations.

At Hamberley, a respite break usually lasts around four weeks, ensuring short term stays can provide personalised care and support tailored to the individual's needs and requirements.
