Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care offers a chance to rest and recharge, knowing your loved one is in a safe, supportive environment where their needs are fully met.

You might consider respite care if you’re feeling stressed or exhausted, recovering from an injury, or need to travel for work or a holiday. It’s also helpful during emergencies or when attending special events. Respite care allows you to focus on other commitments while ensuring your loved one receives the care they deserve.

Many families also use respite care as a trial stay to help loved ones adjust to life in a care home. This gives them time to settle in, meet the team and other residents, and experience the welcoming community we offer.

At Hollyman Care Homes, we primarily offer respite care for privately funded residents. However, if financial circumstances change, additional support may be available through a Third-Party Contribution, commonly referred to as a top-up fee.

For guidance on funding options and eligibility, we recommend contacting your local adult social care team or referral services. Our team is also happy to provide advice and answer any questions you may have.
