Respite Care

HOW CAN RESPITE CARE HELP?

We understand that being a caregiver is challenging and taking care of a loved one can have an emotional toll. It is important that as a carer you make time for your own needs too, which is why our dedicated team at Woodley Grange and Barton Lodge are on hand to provide your loved one with the support they need, whether it is just for a few nights or up to several weeks at a time.

Short stays are also a useful way of deciding which care home is the best option. You can book a trial period for your loved one, so they have the time to become familiar with the home and assess whether it is the right place for their needs.

What Is Convalescent Care?

If your loved one has been in hospital or is recovering from a fall, surgery or illness, our convalescent care offers a calm, supportive place to rest and regain strength.

Our team provides attentive day‑to‑day care, gentle encouragement and the reassurance needed during recovery, while making sure your loved one feels comfortable and well looked after.

We can also arrange physiotherapy or occupational therapy if it would support their recovery and help them feel more confident as they get back on their feet.

Be Part Of Our Friendly & Loving Home

Whether your loved one needs respite care or convalescent care, they can enjoy companionship and the company of our friendly team and residents. A wide range of activities are available to participate in, or they can choose to relax in one of our beautiful lounges, or even enjoy the wonderful views from our sensory gardens.

Our loving care and support is tailored around the needs of the people we look after, with person-centred care plans and delicious home-cooked food, all within luxurious surroundings.

Both our Romsey Care Home and New Milton Care Home in Hampshire have dedicated respite rooms that are available to book in advance.

What our families say

Our reviews

Amazing friendly staff

Mum has been at the care home for six months now and during that time the care has been excellent. I am advised promptly of any problems which are dealt with speedily and professionally. When my husband died they went to great lengths to ensure mum was looked after and able to cope with the information. Her room is always clean and tidy. Fun activities!

It’s perfect for my mum

A wonderful care home

Woodley Grange is a wonderful care home. All the staff are wonderful. Friendly, caring and professional. Dad is always telling his family how caring the staff are to him. Dad enjoys his meals at home, especially when the chef makes her delicious food. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all they do for my lovely dad.

I recommend Woodley Grange

My dad was really well looked after and all his needs were cared for. He loved the downstairs lounges that looked onto the garden. I will definitely recommend Woodley Grange and will be using them again.
