bupa.co.ukHowever much you love them, looking after someone at home can be hard work and a big commitment. It requires endless energy and it's natural for you to need to break - but you need to turn to someone you can trust.
At Bupa, we recognise that carers need relief every now and then. That's why our nursing and residential homes offer a range of respite care breaks - designed to meet your needs and the needs of your loved one.
While you take a well-earned rest, the person you care for can enjoy a pre-planned break in a friendly, safe and comfortable home.
Alternatively, you may need a period of convalescence yourself, to recover from an illness or operation, or you may want to see what life's like in a care home before you decide whether to move in permanently.
Our respite breaks offer comprehensive care which means you can expect well presented accommodation, a varied menu, comfortable lounge and dining rooms, and a range of activities. In addition, if you stay in one of our nursing homes, 24-hour nursing care is also on hand.
All our respite breaks are subject to availability, as our homes offer long-term care for those who need daily nursing, so we can't always accept short stay reservations a long time in advance in every home.
Search for your nearest care home, and contact the home manager to discuss this service.
