A little breathing room

Respite Care

A short stay in a beautiful village location near Bourne that gives families rest, or a place to recover and settle.

Respite stays can give a carer a break, cover a holiday, or provide a gentler step after time away from home. Respite is listed for both residential and dementia care.

Short stays work best when we know the person, so please call early to talk through what is needed and when. Availability varies and is confirmed by the home.

Fees

Published at £1,000 – £1,100 (residential) or £1,100 – £1,200 (dementia) per person, per week. See funding and fees

Questions worth asking
