Our short-term care home breaks are there if someone needs a short period of time in a residential care or nursing home. Being responsible for the well-being and health of someone increasingly frail can take its toll over time. For example, you might be looking after an elderly relative living with dementia and need a well-earned break yourself; safe in the knowledge that we are here to provide their care and support. Or, you may need additional support following an operation to help you get back on your feet or an emergency stay at very short notice in a nursing home with respite care.
