Respite And Holiday Care

If you care for an elderly family member you will understand the need for and value of quality respite care.

Carers should never feel guilty about taking a break. We know that allowing family carers to take a break can help to avoid stressful situations and do wonders for morale.

The renewed levels of patience and energy a break gives is essential to continuing in a caring role.

If you are caring for a loved one and are in need of a break to recharge your batteries or because of an upcoming holiday, rest assured, we can help.

A respite stay at Mount Pleasant Nursing Home will give the person you normally care for the very best of service.

They will benefit from a 'holiday' amongst friendly and welcoming staff and residents, a nice change if they normally live alone. And, although respite stays are short term (normally not more than four weeks) the good relationships that are formed between patients and staff are very reassuring to all should a longer stay ever become necessary.

A short stay is also an ideal solution for those who are well enough to leave hospital but not yet well enough to go home.
