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.

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