Heathside Respite Service

Heathside Residential Home, now have a respite placement availability for a short-term stay.   They offer 1-2 weeks for a short-term stay (up to 6 weeks per year) to support people with a formal diagnosis of dementia, aged 55 and above.  Heathside offer a home-to home environment whilst providing person-centred care in a safe, warm and friendly place supported by care staff who understand dementia and recognise the uniqueness of each person.

This could provide essential support for carers and enable them to plan their holiday, have time to themselves or take well-needed rest and recuperation.

Before accessing this, your loved ones will need a social care assessment to look at the possibility of respite.  To arrange this, please contact the Adult Social Care Initial Assessment Team on 01942 828777.

If your loved one already has respite in place on their support plan, please contact the Heathside team directly.

Or if you care for your loved one and would just like to find out more, please contact:
