Every adult deserves a life defined by their own choices, goals and interests. A disability may be part of your story, but it does not define what you want from a week away.

Your voice leads the week

Our role is not to direct, but to listen and support you in living the week you choose. We plan it with you, and with your family or support network if you want them involved.

  • Person-centred planning — we start by getting to know your interests, routines and what matters to you.
  • Building on your strengths — support to keep up life skills, hobbies, outings and personal care in a safe, encouraging place.
  • Community connection — help to take part in local events, clubs and activities, and to stay connected to people who matter.

What you can expect

A welcoming, safe house

Six en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, a dining room you can use for visitors, and a wheelchair-accessible sensory garden. Never more than six guests at a time.

Support, day and night

Social care workers and care assistants on duty through the day with a team lead on every shift, and two staff overnight — one awake for the full twelve hours.

A real break for carers

Respite is part of a sustainable support system: a planned, refreshing break for you and for the people who care for you at home.

Come and see the house

The best way to judge a respite house is to walk around it. We will show you the rooms and the garden, and answer whatever you want to ask.
