What is respite care?

Respite care is short-term support designed to give full-time carers a break while ensuring their loved ones continue to receive the care they need in a safe, comfortable setting.

At Cotswold Gate, we understand how important it is for carers to take time to rest, recover or attend to other commitments without worry. Our respite care stays provide a temporary but fully supported home-from-home experience, offering reassurance for families and high-quality care for every person.

Who is respite care suited to?

Respite care at Cotswold Gate is ideal for individuals who need temporary support. This may be because they’re recovering from a hospital stay, managing a short-term health issue, or simply benefiting from professional care while their usual carer is unavailable.

It is particularly helpful when a family member or friend who normally provides care needs time away, whether for rest, travel, or personal reasons.
