What is Respite Care?

Respite care can be used for a variety of needs, such as post-hospital recovery, support following an illness, or offering a much-needed break for primary caregivers to enjoy a well-deserved vacation or personal time.

A respite stay can range from a few weeks to several months, adjusting to the unique needs of each individual. This temporary arrangement is beneficial for those seeking a period of recuperation or considering a trial stay to determine if the care home is the right fit for their future needs.

Respite Care FAQs

Struan Lodge Care Home offers respite care to individuals in need of short-term support. This form of care provides an opportunity for recovery and assistance with daily activities, particularly when caregivers require a well-deserved break from their caregiving responsibilities.

For those considering full-time care, respite care at our facility can serve as a trial period, lasting up to four weeks. This allows individuals or their loved ones to assess whether our home is a suitable long-term solution for their needs and preferences.

Our range of care services is available to all of our residents, no matter their duration of stay. During a resident’s stay, the individual can expect to receive their own bedroom, meals and refreshments, activities and entertainment, access to our in-house facilities, and support with activities of daily living. Depending on the health needs of the individual, nursing care may also be provided.

The length of stay for respite care will vary on the individual’s needs and the availability of respite care beds. At Struan Lodge Care Home, a minimum length of stay of 3 weeks is required to allow residents to feel settled and get the most out of our care service. For further information please do get in touch with our team.
