Respite Service

Respite Service

We currently offer a respite service for people with physical/learning disabilities, autism or both at Burlington Lodge and Devonshire Lodge. We work closely with individuals and their families to ensure continuity of both care and daily routine.

As with all of our care and support services, our respite care is tailored to the specific needs of the individual.

We define a structured programme of care to ensure the individual is supported with:

Medication
Personal Care
Laundry/ Room clean
Maintaining a balanced healthy diet
Financial issues
Shopping

Activities are also an important element of our respite care package and they may include:

External activities /days out
Daily living skills workshops
Creative ‘Art as Therapy’
Attending day services
An ‘All About Me’ booklet is completed prior to beginning respite care that contains input from the individual, their families and healthcare professionals. It helps us understand more clearly the individual’s needs and tailor our support more effectively. We also complete a daily diary throughout the stay that documents what was achieved during the stay.

Our Supported Living Pathways

Our services are tailored to an individual’s needs. It’s how we can most effectively encourage and empower individuals while providing all the support they need. Every individuals journey is underpinned by a comprehensive Support and Goal plan that they play an active role in defining.
