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 Stratton Court 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 Stratton Court.
Individuals have also chosen to make their Stratton Court 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 Stratton Court, 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. Stratton Court’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.
Stratton Court is located in the heart of the Cotswolds, in the Roman town of Cirencester. Aside from our idyllic location, there are many benefits of living at Stratton Court, namely our luxury facilities, exceptional menus, mini bus trips, activities and entertainment.
