We are offering a respite service to cover emergency needs. This can be used up to blocks of two weeks at a time and is offered Mon – Frid 8.30am – 5pm.
We understand that finding suitable and reliable respite care for your loved ones can be a source of stress, especially when you are trying to plan a holiday , a hospital stay or you will be recuperating from surgery. In most cases individuals prefer to avoid nursing or residential home for respite, While family or friends may be able to assist with support overnight but need to work through the day this raises worries about how the individual will cope both physically and mentally with the isolation. To help relieve the stress around this situation we are launching our new respite service whereby we will assist with the provision of care from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday for existing clients or any individuals who meet our assessment criteria.
We will arrange a collection of individuals where possible working around carers if need be and bring them into Acredale where we will provide them with breakfast.
We will organise a day that includes a two-course lunch, various activities, snacks and drinks throughout the day, an evening meal ( if needed ), and transportation home around 5pm. Throughout the day we can support with medication as well as providing an emergency contact number for out-of-hours care and a dedicated team member as a point of contact.
If needed, we offer flexible evening wellbeing checks -either by phone or visit depending on which is required. If at any point the individual takes ill and is admitted to hospital we can arrange clothing and toiletries from their home, provide visits and any supplies required as well as updating the main carer.
We strive to personalise our service to meet each individual’s needs. Our service can include well-being visits on weekends (with prior arrangement) as well as again providing contact details for a dedicated team member in the event of an emergency and a point of contact.
The cost of this service is £80 per day and can be provided for a maximum of two weeks at a time. For existing clients there is a 25% discount on a block booking.
