What is Respite Care?

Respite Care is a short-term care option that allows primary caregivers to take regular and unscheduled breaks. We’ve created a Respite package to allow you to take the time you need, knowing that your loved-one is in safe, caring hands. Whether it’s to help a loved one with additional nursing requirements after a stay in the hospital to help them get back on their feet, or to recharge, get some medical treatment for yourself or just some time out, we’ve created a respite package to allow you to take the time you need, knowing that your loved-one is in safe, caring hands

Our Approach to Respite Care

Our home provides a safe and welcoming environment for individuals to live, with care tailored to their specific needs. We adopt a holistic approach to care that considers all of our residents’ health, well-being and interests, which is shared by all members of staff. Our purpose-built home provides as much ease and accessibility as possible to its residents, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable while maintaining as much independence as possible.

When is Respite Care Necessary?

Respite Care is designed to be a pleasant experience for both residents and carers. The health of caregivers is just as vital as the health of the person they are caring for. The quality of care provided by a caregiver who is stressed and weary is likely to diminish as a result. Carers can rest confident that whether you are caring for a loved one or simply need a break, you will discover a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment at Struan Lodge. We provide short-term respite care for anyone who require it, with stays ranging from a week to a few months.

Prioritising Resident Safety & Wellbeing

COVID-19 prevention actions are carried out to the highest standard by the staff at Struan Lodge Care Home. We are continually working to ensure that these preventative measures are implemented and that they cause minimal inconvenience to our residents’ daily life. We strive to ensure that our residents receive exemplary standards of safety and hygiene, while also ensuring that they are comfortable in their surroundings. Our caring staff is dedicated to assisting both future residents and their loved ones, as well as those who are now residing with us during these trying times.

It is important that meaningful contact is supported and maintained for residents. There are no limits on how often residents can receive visitors but it must remain safe and manageable for the care home staff and residents themselves and we ask that these are pre-booked. Anyone who visits a care home should take an LFD test, you will be asked to show proof of the recent negative LFD test before visiting. This includes family, friends, children over the age of 12, and visiting professionals. You may take the test at home before you visit or the home can help you to carry out the test when you arrive.

A Fluid Resistant Surgical Mask (FRSM) must be worn wherever possible, and Infection Prevention and Control measures should be followed as instructed by care home staff. Residents, family, and friends are able to plan outings or activities from the care home and are able to do by working together with the care home to arrange.

For prospective residents, to have a tour of the home, it is necessary for this to be pre-booked and for evidence of a negative LFT test to be presented prior to entering the home. This applies to all guests within your party. At any time, the COVID-19 regulations and guidance from the Government, National and Local Healthcare Agencies may change.
