We provide temporary care to give your loved one the support they need
Convalescent care is a type of short-term respite care where residents are provided with extra support while recovering from an illness.
A convalescent home could be a necessary step towards independence following surgery or an illness that required a hospital stay. Our homes provide a warm and comfortable place for your loved one to rest and recover, with 24-hour care to put your mind at ease.
Here, we’ll explain more about who needs convalescent care, what support is available and how long it lasts.
If you’re wondering whether convalescent care is right for your loved one, here are a few questions to consider: Have they just had an operation or illness? Are they well enough to leave hospital but not quite ready to live independently in their own home? Do they need a bit of extra support with personal care so they can focus on recovering?
If the answer to these is yes, a short stay in a care home could be just what your loved one needs to get their confidence back.
When is convalescent care right for your loved one?
Residents receiving convalescent care will enjoy a warm, comfortable environment with personal care and support provided 24 hours a day. We'll look after all their needs while they focus on resting and recuperating.
If you think you or a loved one need convalescent care, please get in touch and we can help you take the next step.
A convalescent home will provide a bespoke care plan for each resident to offer the tailored support they need to recover fully. This may include physical therapy and occupational therapy to improve motor skills and coordination, or a focus on speech therapy or mental wellbeing.
As well as providing care support around the clock, from dressing to medication, our care team will take day-to-day jobs like cooking, cleaning and laundry off your loved one’s plate.
Your loved one will be well looked after by our care teams who work hard to provide a warm environment where residents can find companionship and support throughout their recovery.
Care will be provided for as long as the healing process takes, so the length of time your loved one spends in convalescent care will be driven by their needs. Residents may stay for a few weeks or several months depending on the severity of their illness. Their short-term stay will come to an end when they have regained their strength and feel confident to live independently again.
You may find that your loved one prefers the peace of mind of receiving round-the-clock care, and they may wish to move in as a permanent resident. Our teams will do their best to accommodate their needs.
