UNDERSTANDING RESPITE CARE
A HELPING HAND
Everyone deserves some ‘me’ time. If you are caring for someone and need some time for yourself to recharge your batteries, or you’d like a little extra support yourself following a period of illness, taking a break from your usual routine is essential to help maintain your own general health and wellbeing.
At Kings Lodge we provide respite, or short stay care, for those who do not require long term care. Depending on the individual’s needs, a short stay could range from a few days to a few weeks. Our respite residents often return time and again once they have experienced life at Kings Lodge.
Individuals have also chosen to make their Kings Lodge their permanent home following their Respite experiences.
Respite Care may be suitable for various reasons and can be beneficial whether it has been planned or due to unexpected circumstances.

CARING FOR YOUR LOVED ONE
PEACE OF MIND
Our approach to respite care is just as meticulous as for our Residential, Dementia and Nursing residents. Prior to arriving at Kings Lodge, our Care Home Manager will arrange to meet you in your own home or hospital at your convenience.
Our Care Home Manager will through conversation and discussion assess your needs, get to know your interests, like and dislikes and develop a holistic individualised plan of care that you are involved in. Kings Lodge’s fundamental values are to promote and emphasise resident’s respect, independence, privacy and choice. Our person-centred approach to Respite Care allows us to ensure these values are achieved continuously without question.
