What respite care is
Respite stays are available on both our residential and our dementia care, whether you need a planned break as a family carer, a chance to see how your relative settles before committing to anything permanent. A respite resident is a full part of the home for as long as they are with us: with meals, care and activities.
Respite care is a short-term stay, for your relative and, just as importantly, for you. Caring for someone you love is relentless, and everybody needs to rest, recover or simply have a break without guilt.
A respite stay at Wraysbury House gives your loved one a warm, sociable change of scene with full care around them, and gives you the breathing space to look after yourself. Stays can be as short or as long as you need.
