Defining Respite Care

Respite care is a short-term care option, which can range from a few weeks to several months, from a carer who is different from your usual caregiver. These respite breaks can be both planned or unplanned depending on circumstances. Whether residents have experienced a fall, recovering from an illness or the caregiver is looking to have a short break, The Fleet Care Home is here to help relieve that pressure or worry. All residents staying with us, no matter their length of stay, receive only the highest-quality Respite Care until they feel more like themselves again.

A Holistic Approach to Respite Care

Our approach to care goes beyond simply meeting care needs, it’s about caring for the health, wellbeing and interests of our residents as a whole; an entirely holistic approach that is adopted by all staff members. Everyone at The Fleet Care Home is here to support our residents to continue living life in the way that they want to, how they want to, with as much or as little support as required. Our home has been designed to offer residents the highest level of comfort and a true home-from-home feeling where residents feel confident and happy while retaining as much independence as possible. A minimum stay of three weeks applies to our respite care to allow residents to settle in and fully reap the benefits of our service.
