Description
Planned respite care is arranged ahead of time, giving both the family and the guest the reassurance of a known date and a known place. Unlike urgent arrangements, planned respite allows us to prepare the room, meet the guest or their family beforehand, and write a simple support plan that reflects the person??s usual day. This may include a pre-stay visit, a shared note on preferences, and a named staff member who will be the main point of contact. The stay itself can be as short as one night or as long as several weeks.
Planning steps may include:
- An introductory phone call or visit
- Completion of a simple profile form about routines and preferences
- Agreement of arrival and departure times
- A written confirmation of the agreed support and cost
The amount shown is a deposit for a planned respite booking. The full fee is confirmed after the profile and dates are agreed. Please fill in the planned respite form with your intended dates and a note on the support usually provided, and we will begin the planning process.
