Respite Care

Respite Care

This is flexible, temporary care just when you need it most. We are able to provide this specialised form of care at Fairmile Grange.

Our respite care gives residents a welcoming, comfortable and friendly place to stay, and can be short-term or as a permanent resident. In either case we will work with you to tailor the care you, or your loved one, may need during your stay with us.

Your respite stay depends on availability, though it can be from two to six weeks, though whether your stay is long or short, you’ll find that our care home is modern and purpose-designed specifically for caregiving. You or your loved one will be given a personalised care plan and you’ll have the opportunity to experience not just our lovely facilities, but our delicious home-cooked meals and wellbeing activities.

Respite for carers

Our experience tells us that full-time carers of a family member or friend often need a break, or at least some additional help to recharge their batteries.

Whether you or your loved one join us for a short-term or as a permanent resident, you can rest assured that you will be well looked after and receive our high-quality standard of care.

Private Respite Care

On the road to recovery

You or a loved one are welcome to stay with us if you have recently had an operation, or have simply been unwell and need a place to stay for a while to recover.

This could be just the time that you would appreciate a break and a hand with the everyday aspects of your life until you feel fully recovered. Alternatively we are experienced providers of both planned respite care for the elderly and emergency respite care.

Try living at an Fairmile Grange Care Home

You or your loved one are very welcome to come and spend perhaps a few weeks at our care home without feeling you have to make a long-term commitment. This would give you an excellent opportunity to discover for yourself what life is like at our home.
