What is Respite Care?

Respite care offers short-term temporary care with all the benefits you would expect from life in a luxury care home. There are many reasons someone may use respite care, including recovery following a hospital stay, a change of scenery and social opportunities, trialling a care home before making a decision about long-term care, or providing regular carers with a well-deserved break.

At Ivy Gate Lodge, our respite care residents can relax in our supportive and nurturing environment for up to four weeks. Families can rest assured that their loved one is being well cared for by our highly-skilled, compassionate staff who are on-call 24 hours a day.
