Respite Care

At Lark View Care Home, we take pride in providing the highest quality of comfort, safety, and happiness to each resident, regardless of their duration of stay.

Our respite care service stands ready to assist residents on a temporary basis and offers respite to primary caregivers from their daily care duties. No matter what our resident’s requirements are for respite, Lark View Care Home delivers holistic support encompassing a diverse range of medical and wellness support.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care can span from a few weeks to several months. Our service offers a temporary yet effective caregiving solution. These breaks in care can be either prearranged or responsive to unexpected situations. Whether prompted by a fall, recuperation from surgery, or a caregiver seeking a brief break, the intention of respite care is to alleviate stress, and concern and to step in as a temporary source of care.

Furthermore, respite care serves as an avenue for individuals to sample life within a care home, aiding in the decision-making process before considering a permanent transition.
