Our commitment to you
Tailored temporary care for unique needs
Transitioning to full-time care can be a significant adjustment, both for individuals and their families. At St Martins Care, we understand the challenges this transition can bring. That's why we offer respite care - a temporary stay that provides relief and support for individuals and caregivers while ensuring the highest quality of care.
Why us?
Respite is for anyone
The meaning of respite care can differ from person to person, as it depends what someone might need care or our care home services for. Respite care can be personalised, whether that be for someone who needs care, or for a care giver who needs a break. It can be for the occasional few hours a week or over an extended period.
Make the right decision for you
Respite care can benefit both the current carer and the individual needing care. Current caregivers can feel an ease of the burden of care, stress relief, restored energy, and life balance. The person being cared for will significantly benefit by being provided with a variety of activities, a social environment that decreases isolation, an increase in stimulation, and a nurturing change of routine.

Piece of mind is our priority
At St Martins Care, we know the value of high quality care and we know how beneficial it can be to individuals who need some additional support!
We also understand that for caregivers to provide the best care to their loved one, they also need to take care of themselves. Our reliable, compassionate team are fully trained, giving peace of mind to take that much-needed break.
How respite care can help those in need of care:
- Quality care
- Stimulation through pre-planned activities
- A change of routine
How can respite care help caregivers:
- Relive stress of caring
- Restore energy
- Promote balance in life
A break caregivers need
Providing care for an elderly, ill, or disabled family member is a challenging and demanding task. No one is prepared to handle it alone, and it's essential to have support in place to alleviate the caregiver when necessary.
Respite care offers the primary caregiver a much-needed break from their responsibilities while ensuring that the person receiving care continues to receive the support they require.
Making the transition easier
The bridge to full-time care
Respite care serves as a valuable bridge between independent living and full-time care. It allows individuals to experience the nurturing environment of our facility, become familiar with our staff, and adjust to the routines and amenities we offer.
This familiarity can ease the transition to full-time care when the time comes, making it a smoother and less stressful process for both the resident and their family.
During their respite stay, residents have the opportunity to engage in our enriching activities, enjoy delicious meals prepared by our culinary team, and benefit from personalised care tailored to their needs.
Our compassionate staff ensures that every individual feels welcomed, valued, and supported throughout their stay.
We also offer Dementia, residential and nursing care.
Transitioning to full-time care after respite care
Transitioning into full-time care is seamless for those who find comfort in our respite care service. Our staff are familiar with residents’ needs and preferences, making the transition smooth and seamless.
Emergency respite care
We offer emergency respite care services to ensure support is available when it is needed the most. Whether it's a sudden need for care, a regular carer needs a break, or a return home from hospital, our compassionate team is here to help.
