When considering respite options for a loved one there are a host of questions that circle around people’s minds – about food, personal care, and medication needs, alongside concerns about whether mum or dad will settle? Will the staff understand what they need?
When you’re the primary, long-term caregiver for a close family member, handing over the responsibility for their care can seem a daunting prospect.
Local care provider Westward Care which runs Pennington Court Care Home in Beeston is currently running a respite offer of £250 off a minimum 2 week stay for people looking for a break or some time to re-charge in 2026.
Each care suite offers:
- A private room for the duration of your stay (some with en-suite)
- Reassurance of 24/7 care and support staff on site to help with your needs
- Spacious lounges and quiet rooms for socialising, relaxation and activities together
- Freshly prepared meals – all residents can enjoy a choice of cereal and toast or a cooked breakfast, a 2-course lunch and an early evening meal
The new General Manager of Pennington Court Care Home, Laura Clark explains:
“People contact us for a variety of reasons looking for respite. In some instances, the carer needs to have a break. For others it might be that they have a family wedding or holiday that they are attending.
“We aim to make it a true home from home experience, so the carer can feel confident that respite will enhance the well-being for both of them.
“We find out as much as we can in advance about our respite guests so we can ensure they settle in well and have a relaxing and supported stay.”
