What is Respite Care at Adel Square Care Home?

Respite care is a short-term stay in a care home supporting people who require some additional support.

It may be considered after a hospital stay, when usual care arrangements have changed, or simply for a short break for loving carers. It can also act as a gentle introduction to life in a care home before any longer term decision is made.

At Adel Square Care Home, respite stay begins with a conversation about the person’s needs, preferences and wishes. This helps our care team plan a tailored experience that is thoughtful and reassuring.

Residents can enjoy our elegant spaces, freshly prepared meals and activities arranged by our dedicated activities coordinator. Care staff are available throughout the day and night to provide support. Depending on needs, this may include help with personal care, medication, mobility, meals and companionship.

Meet Our Home Manager
Diane Atkinson

I have worked in care for over 30 years, gaining a wealth of experience and knowledge along the way, progressing through different roles to become a Registered Manager. Throughout my career, I have remained passionate about providing high-quality person-centred care that truly makes a difference to people’s lives.

My approach is centred on creating a home from home environment where residents feel comfortable, valued, and part of a community. I believe it’s important that each person is treated as an individual, with their own preferences, routines, and life story.
