Respite Care Help & Advice

The Applewood Healthcare team know just how challenging and demanding life can be for primary caregivers.

From time to time, you may need a break and this is where our respite care services come into their own. The perfect choice for short-term care, whether you need support for a matter of days or a few weeks, our expert team of trained nurses and carers can welcome your loved one into our home and ensure they’re comfortable for the duration of their stay.

We always personalise care plans specifically for our individual residents. This is because we know that no two people are the same and require unique support. As well as this, it allows us to replicate the support they are used to receiving from their primary caregiver and therefore prevents confusion or distress.

While they are with us, we can also help with daily living functions such as eating, bathing and dressing while also administering any medication that is needed in the correct doses and at the necessary times. We’ll also carry out regular health monitoring and general checks as well as checking for anything specific you or your loved one may require.
