Our respite, or short-term stays, provide exceptional care and support within a home from home environment. Whether you’re going on holiday, taking care of other commitments or your loved one needs extra help after illness or a hospital stay, we’re here to support you and provide a smooth transition into care along with a safe, comfortable and homely environment. It is important that everyone takes time to recharge and rejuvenate every now and again for their own health and well-being. Respite care allows caregivers to do just that whilst having peace of mind that their loved one is safe and being well cared for.

We personalise short-term care plans to meet a person’s individual care needs. A minimum 2-week stay is required to guarantee availability, subject to assessment. Please contact our team to discuss this further.

At Aveley Lodge Care Home, we pride ourselves on our person-centred approach that tailors our respite care to meet the unique needs of each individual. Our dedicated care team is committed to providing high-quality care in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

During respite care you can be guaranteed the following:

• Individualised Care Plans: Every resident receives tailored care plans that address their specific needs and preferences. We take the time to understand their routines, likes, and dislikes to provide the best possible care.
• Safe and Comfortable Environment: Our home is designed with safety and comfort in mind. Each room is equipped with modern amenities, creating a homely atmosphere for our residents.
• Engaging Activities: Our respite residents can enjoy a range of activities, from arts and crafts to fitness classes and social events.
• Social Interaction: Respite care offers individuals the chance to socialise, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
• Flexible Respite Options: We offer flexible respite options to meet the unique needs of caregivers and individuals, ensuring the right level of support.

We understand that making the move into a care home is challenging, but respite care allows residents, their families and carers to trial living in a care setting before committing to permanent residency. It is often found that the transition into care is made easier once residents have already experienced life at Aveley Lodge including our care practices, facilities and fellow residents. We are therefore, able to facilitate respite to permanent stays as well as multiple or regular respite stays if required, subject to availability.
