Providing help to carers in need of a break

At Wellburn House we understand that not everybody requires long-term, permanent care, and that is why we also provide respite care. Respite care, which also encompasses day care and holiday care, is aimed predominantly at people who care for a loved one, and who may benefit from a short break.

With respite care, people can stay with us for just few hours, a week, a month, or perhaps even longer. Whatever length of time people spend with us, they are always treated the same as every other resident at Wellburn House and it is often a good way of allowing yourself and your loved one to gauge whether full-time care would be more suitable.
