Caring for a loved one can be a full-time and often challenging role, that requires a lot of patience, understanding, and physical and emotional energy. At Ambridge Rose, we recognise that sometimes it’s important for caregivers to take a break to recharge their batteries and take care of themselves. That’s where respite care comes in.
Respite care, or short-term care, provides a temporary break to allow caregivers to attend to personal matters, take a much-needed holiday, or simply relax and unwind. Respite care can also be beneficial for the person who is receiving care as it may help to prevent caregiver burnout, improve their quality of life, and provide them with a new environment and experiences.
Our facilities are designed to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for our residents, and we offer a variety of activities and programmes, including social outings, exercise classes, and entertainment. Our experienced staff provide high quality care to all residents, making respite care a great option for families.
