“We are very happy with the care that mum is receiving at Greensleeves. All of your team are exceptionally friendly and kind and we feel that mum is in safe hands. Your communications with families are very helpful and timely and we enjoy seeing photos of mum taking part in the activities that are regularly arranged. She is always smiling.”

Same care. Shorter stay.

A short stay should never feel like second-best care.

At Greensleeves, respite residents receive the same warmth, personal support and companionship as longer-term residents. We take time to understand routines, preferences, wellbeing needs and the small details that help someone feel comfortable and settled, so respite care can feel reassuring from the outset.

When respite helps

Respite care can be valuable in many situations.

It may provide support after illness or hospital discharge, a temporary break for family carers, help while longer-term care is being considered, or a chance to experience the home before a permanent move.

Common questions

Helpful to know.

Who is respite care suitable for?+
Respite care may be suitable for someone who needs short-term support, whether after illness or hospital, while family carers take a break, while longer-term plans are being considered, or as a trial before a permanent move.
How long can someone stay for respite care?+
The length of a respite stay depends on availability, the person’s needs and the circumstances. Some people stay for a short break, while others may need longer support. We can talk this through with you.
Will respite residents receive the same care as permanent residents?+
Yes. A short stay should never feel like second-best care. Respite residents receive the same warmth, attention and support as permanent residents, with care shaped around their needs and routines.
Can respite care become a permanent stay?+
Sometimes, yes. If a respite stay is going well and a permanent room is available, we can discuss whether a longer-term move may be suitable. This would depend on the person’s needs, availability and assessment.
What should someone bring for a respite stay?+
We recommend bringing comfortable clothing, toiletries, any personal items that help the person feel settled, and important information about routines, preferences and medication. We can guide families through this before the stay.
How do we arrange a respite stay?+
The best first step is to contact us. We will talk through the person’s needs, the reason for respite, availability and whether Greensleeves feels like the right setting.
