Respite Care in Thanet
Respite Care
Short term relief for you and your family
Why choose respite care?
There are three common reasons for moving into a home for short term care.
The first is to provide reassurance that you or your loved one is safe and well looked after if family members are going away.
The second is if you are recovering from a fall or operation and require temporary additional assistance. And the third is if you are thinking about moving into a care home but would like to try it before you make the commitment to move.
