Short Stay & Respite Care

We offer the same high quality care services enjoyed by our long-term residents on a short-term basis. Whether it’s for a short period of recovery, a respite break or simply a trial run for those looking for a permanent move, we offer a home from home where residents can live their life, their way.

Relax, Rest & Recuperate

Providing resident focused care, our care team can accommodate most clinical and care needs and will work with residents, their family and/or friends to gain a full understanding of care requirements. Our aim is to ensure that residents’ needs are met, and they feel safe throughout their stay with us.

Our short stay and respite care may be suitable for someone being discharged from hospital, needing a little additional support during their recuperation or recovery process.

Others simply like to take a ‘short relaxation break’ with us, perhaps to give a full-time family carer some rest, or indeed have some time out for themselves.

Helping The Transition To a Care Home

We know that considering a move into residential or nursing care is a big decision at what is often a difficult time. Making a decision on whether a certain care home is the right place can be overwhelming without experiencing what life could be like. We actively encourage a short stay to see what’s it like to live in our home.

Having a short break gives everyone concerned a chance to experience our care home with no commitment, and can aid you in making the best decision about future care options.

4 Weeks For The Price of 3

Book a short stay and not only will your loved one enjoy four weeks for the price of three, they’ll experience the truly unique blend of elegant comfort and nursing excellence that has become the bedrock of Colten Care.

“The carers were all lovely and went out of their way to make Mum comfortable, the food was very good, lovely garden and everywhere was clean and tidy.” – J P, son of resident from Canford Chase

Our care teams assist with all aspects of daily living for our residents, from personal care to taking regular medications, working flexibly to promote independence providing support to maintain the physical care and comfort of residents.

Residential Care

Our residential care service is designed to provide a comfortable and relaxed home environment where home maintenance, laundry, cooking and housekeeping are taken care of on your behalf.

Dementia Care

Although Canford Chase is not a dementia home, we are committed to supporting our residents to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, and that includes those living with the earlier stages of dementia or cognitive impairment.

End Of Life

We want people to live well with us, making the most of every single day. If that means being together until the end of life, we want our residents to die well with dignity with family around, in familiar surroundings with staff they know well.
