What respite care is
Caring for someone you love is one of the hardest jobs there is, and you cannot do it well if you never stop. A respite stay at Belmont Castle gives your relative a warm, sociable break and gives you the chance to rest, recover, or simply catch your breath, knowing they are genuinely cared for.
Respite care is a short-term stay, for your relative and, just as importantly, for you. Caring for someone you love is relentless, and everybody needs to rest, recover or simply have a break without guilt.
A respite stay at Belmont Castle gives your loved one a warm, sociable change of scene with full care around them, and gives you the breathing space to look after yourself. Stays can be as short or as long as you need.
