Respite care

A respite stay can provide short-term care and support in a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment. At Robert Douglas Memorial Home, respite care is available subject to availability and can offer reassurance for individuals and their families when additional support is needed.

A warm welcome

We understand that staying somewhere new can feel daunting. Our team works hard to help respite residents feel comfortable, settled and supported throughout their stay.

Residents can enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of the Home while receiving care tailored to their individual needs.

Personalised support

As with all care provided at Robert Douglas Memorial Home, support is centred around the individual.

We take time to understand each person’s needs, preferences and routines so that we can provide care that promotes comfort, dignity and wellbeing.

Life at the Home

Respite residents become part of daily life within the Home during their stay.

There are opportunities to socialise, relax and enjoy the welcoming environment, while family and friends are encouraged to visit.
