Respite Care

A Well-Deserved Break for You and Your Loved One

We all deserve a break every once and a while, and this is especially true for carers and those being cared for. Respite care, often referred to as a ‘short stay’ or ‘short break’ could make a big difference to a person’s health and well-being.

Respite care offers a break from the day-to-day care routine, with a change of scenery, the opportunity for socialisation and new experiences, while providing a seamless continuity of care.

Short term respite care is also a great opportunity to trial what life in a care home is like, and is often the first step towards moving into permanent residency in a care home.

If you or a loved one are in need of a break, one of Oval Care homes in the UK will be on hand to provide respite services suited to your needs, ensuring that everyone’s personal preferences are respected

Why choose Oval Care respite care home?

  • Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care gives you time to rest, knowing your loved one is in safe, capable hands.

  • We tailor every short stay to match the individual’s routine, preferences, and medical needs. There’s no disruption, just consistent, thoughtful care.

  • Our care homes offer a warm, friendly atmosphere where guests can enjoy daily activities, socialise, and experience something new — all while receiving the support they need.

  • Respite care is a great way to experience life in one of our care homes without a long-term commitment — often serving as the first step toward permanent residency.

  • We know that every person is unique. That’s why before your stay begins, our General Manager will meet with you and your loved one — either at home or at the care home — to understand their care needs, preferences, and routines.

    From meals and medication to hobbies and social preferences, everything is tailored to ensure the stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
