Need some time away from your caring role?

Caring for someone is a big responsibility.

To ensure you can continue in your caring role, you might benefit from taking some time out (respite) to focus on your own health and wellbeing, attend appointments, or take a longer break knowing that the person you care for is in good hands.

Respite options can be tailored to meet your needs as the carer, as well as the needs of the person you are caring for.

Our staff are trained to support people living with cognitive and neurological conditions such as dementia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as people living with chronic disease or who have mobility challenges.

What services are available?

🎉 Happy Birthday to Nel, who celebrated an incredible 101 years surrounded by friends at Highercombe Residential Care Home, with her daughter Elly and daughter‑in‑law Gayle joining to mark this very special milestone 💐💖🎂

Here are some of Nel’s reflections for a life well lived:

“I have liked to live an honest life, when people would ask me questions, I would always tell the truth.”

“A girl once said to me, can you tell me a secret of your old age, I said you have to believe in the creator. I put my heart and soul into faith. I don’t put my beliefs onto people but I have always had faith.”

“You are born with your own free will.”

“Live in the moment.”

Wise, thoughtful and inspiring - thank you, Nel! Happy birthday, from all of us✨🌸
