Respite Care

At Daisy Nook House Care Home in Ashton-under-Lyne, we provide respite care for older people who need temporary support in a welcoming and comfortable environment. Whether you are looking for a short stay for a loved one while you take a break from caring responsibilities or additional support following an illness or hospital discharge, our team is here to help.
We understand that arranging a temporary stay in a care home can feel like a big decision. You may have questions about what to expect, how your loved one will settle in and whether their individual needs will be understood. At Daisy Nook House, we take the time to get to know each resident and provide support that reflects their personal preferences, routines and care requirements.
Our aim is to make every stay as comfortable and reassuring as possible, giving residents the opportunity to enjoy life at the home while receiving the support they need.

Personalised Respite Care

Everyone has different reasons for needing respite care and the support required during a short stay will vary from person to person.

At Daisy Nook House, we take time to understand each resident’s circumstances before their stay. This includes learning about their daily routines, personal care needs, interests and any preferences that will help them feel comfortable in their new surroundings.
Our team can provide assistance with everyday activities such as washing, dressing, personal care and mobility. We also encourage residents to maintain their independence wherever possible, making choices about how they spend their time and the support they receive.

Whether someone is staying for a few weeks or a longer period, we want them to feel welcomed, respected and well supported.

A Break for Family Carers

Caring for someone close to you can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Looking after a loved one often involves balancing their needs with work, family life and your own wellbeing.

Respite care can give family carers some time to rest, take a holiday or attend to other responsibilities, knowing a loved one is receiving support in a care home environment.
At Daisy Nook House, we understand how important it is for families to feel confident when arranging a temporary stay. We welcome conversations with relatives, take time to understand the person’s needs and keep communication open throughout their stay.

Taking a break does not mean you are letting someone down. Having the opportunity to rest and recharge can help you continue supporting someone you care about.
