Respite Care

Rest and Recharge – Short breaks and respite care

Take a Break, Recharge, and Feel Supported!

At Saint Catherine’s, our respite care gives families the chance to rest and recharge, knowing their loved one is receiving expert, compassionate support.
Set in peaceful countryside surroundings, our private en-suite rooms offer comfort and independence, each with its own patio leading into tranquil gardens.

Every stay is tailored to individual needs, combining high-quality nursing care with the warmth and familiarity of home. Here, guests can enjoy comfort, companionship, and care in a
safe, welcoming environment where dignity, respect, and kindness come first.

Care Shaped Around You

Personalised care, built on understanding and compassion.

Our respite service is available for adults (18+) with a long-term condition*. You don’t need to be an existing patient, referrals can come from yourself, a loved one, or a healthcare
professional. Our expert team takes time to assess and understand each guest and their family, creating a personal care plan that reflects their wishes, comfort, and preferences.
For carers, this means confidence and peace of mind, knowing your loved one is supported with dignity and compassion every step of the way.

*Please note: Our respite care is not suitable for people with severe dementia.

Your Stay With Us

Comfort, independence, and the freedom to feel at home.

Our private en-suite rooms are designed for comfort and independence with a Smart TV, personal fridge, and direct access to a private patio leading into our gardens.
Guests are welcome to make their room their own, adding personal touches that make it feel like home. Beyond your room, you’ll find relaxing communal spaces. Our
lounge is perfect for reading or chatting with friends and family, while our garden offers a peaceful place for quiet reflection.
Whether you prefer privacy or company, every guest has the freedom to enjoy their stay their way.

Flavours to Enjoy

Freshly prepared meals made with care, served with warmth.

Mealtimes are moments to enjoy. Our Flavours Bistro team prepares fresh, high-quality meals every day, offering a blend of restaurant-style dishes and traditional homely favourites.
Menus are varied, flexible, and tailored to each guest’s needs, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and texture-modified options.
We also have a specials board that’s updated daily to offer even more choice. If there’s something a guest particularly fancies, please ask a member of the team and they will do their very best to accommodate. After all, we want every meal to feel personal. Guests can dine where they feel most comfortable. In their room, the communal dining area, or outdoors in our beautiful gardens. Family and friends are welcome to join too.
