What is Respite Care?

Respite care provides temporary, short-term support for people who need assistance with daily activities, offering a valuable break for their regular caregivers. This type of care is ideal for those recovering from an illness, operation, or any condition that requires extra support in a professional, comfortable environment. Respite care is a flexible solution that ensures continuity of care without the pressure of a long-term commitment.

In a respite care setting, individuals receive personalised assistance tailored to their health needs, from help with mobility and personal care to medication management and social activities. Care homes providing respite care, including Bothwell Castle Care Home, focus on creating a homely atmosphere where guests feel welcomed, valued, and supported throughout their stay. Private respite care supports the individual receiving care and the primary caregiver, ensuring that everyone’s wellbeing is prioritised.
