Respite Care

At Cedar Care Homes, our respite care service provides short-term support when you need it most. Whether you’re looking for a temporary break from caring for a loved one, recovery time after hospital treatment, or an opportunity to experience life in our homes, our professional team ensures the highest standards of care within a warm, welcoming environment.

Why Choose Respite Care?

Respite care can benefit both carers and those receiving care. For family carers, it provides a chance to take a well-deserved break, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. For those receiving care, it offers a change of scene, social opportunities, and a chance to experience professional care in a supported environment.

Our respite care is ideal for:

Planned breaks for family carers
Post-hospital recovery periods
Trial stays to experience our homes
Emergency care situations
Holiday cover for regular carers
Short-term support during illness
