Respite Care FAQs

Respite care is available to any individual who requires support on a short-term basis. Respite care provides an opportunity for recovery and assistance with daily living tasks when a caregiver needs a break from their caregiving duties. If you or a loved one needs full-time care, respite care can also be used to trial our home for a few weeks to see if it’s a right fit.

Our care services are available to all of our respite residents, no matter their length of stay. During a resident’s stay, they can expect their own bedroom, meals and refreshments, activities and entertainment, access to our in-house facilities, and support with daily living. Depending on the care needs of the individual, nursing care may also be provided.

The length of stay for respite care will vary on the individual’s needs and the availability of respite beds. At Haddington Care Home, a minimum length of stay of 3 weeks does apply to allow residents to feel settled and get the most out of our service – for further information please get in touch with our team.
