Respite Care

Whether residents need time to recover after an illness or hospital stay, or family carers need a well-earned break, our respite care offers a welcoming place to rest and recharge.

During their stay, residents enjoy the same personalised care, meals, activities and companionship as our long-term residents, with a warm welcome and time to settle in at their own pace. Short stays can also be a lovely way to experience life at a Castlemeadow Care home before making a longer-term decision.

Our minimum respite stay is one week.

  • All care and support are covered by our weekly fee.
  • This fee will vary by the level of care required daily, the type of room you choose and your preferred Castlemeadow Care home.
  • Respite, or short stay care is for a minimum of one week at your preferred Castlemeadow Care home.
  • Our fees are transparent and will be explained in detail by our care advisors.
  • We do offer Local Authority places subject to the agreed weekly cost being paid.
  • Local Authorities will not pay the full weekly cost of your care.
