Aurem Care can cater for your short term stays with all the care you need.
Respite care is designed to provide additional support to older people for a shorter period of time compared to a full-time care home stay. Respite care often provides short-term relief for primary caregivers, however, is also there for those who require additional care following an operation or hospital stay.
At Aurem care homes, we ensure each resident that receives respite care is included within our friendly, welcoming community from the offset.
Respite care can offer families and carers a much-needed break. It’s also a great option as part of a post-operative care programme or simply for when your home’s being redecorated.
Most carers tell us they feel guilty when they need a break or want to go on holiday, and they worry that no one will care for their relative the way they do.
Our care teams are passionate about providing individualised, friendly care. Each year, we help families all over the UK to take a break, knowing that their loved ones are in the very best hands in an Aurem home.
Staying with us for a short period can help you to regain your confidence, make new friends, try new activities and take time out.
Our fees will vary depending upon the type of care, accommodation and the length of stay you require. Your chosen home’s manager will be able to talk to you about the fees when you enquire. We also give an indicative price on each care home page in our Key Information documents. Funding care needn’t be a worry. There is more information on this in our Help and advice section.
If you are funding your own care, you can choose to use short-stay services whenever and wherever you want. If you want advice about whether we can provide suitable care and support during your stay, please get in touch for a chat.
If you are part or wholly funding respite care with public funding from a local authority, for example, you will need to go through the public funding assessment process to determine whether you are eligible for a respite stay. This means liaising with your local social services in the first instance.
The next step is to have a conversation with our home manager about the type of care you need, whether this be residential, nursing or dementia care. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure…call for a chat and some advice.
Respite availability varies throughout the year, and different homes have different care services, so it’s recommended that you contact the home manager as far in advance as possible to check if they can accommodate you.
Wanted to say a big thank you to The Oaks Care Home. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to look after my grandad. Every member of staff from nurses, carers and housekeepers to kitchen etc were kind, caring and always welcoming.
The manager always had time for a chat and any questions we had were always answered. Thanks once again, you’re all amazing.
