Respite Care

There are many reasons why someone might need respite care, whether a family carer needs time to rest and recharge, support is needed following a change in circumstances, or a short stay in a care home would provide extra reassurance. At Launton Grange Care Home in Bicester, our respite care offers temporary support in a welcoming environment, helping residents feel comfortable while giving their loved ones greater peace of mind.

We understand that even a short stay away from home can feel like a big change. Our team takes time to understand each resident’s needs, preferences and usual routines, helping them settle in and feel supported throughout their stay.

When Can Respite Care Help?

Caring for someone close to you can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Respite care gives family carers an opportunity to take a well-earned break, attend to other commitments or spend time looking after their own wellbeing, knowing that their loved one is receiving support during their stay.

Respite care can also be helpful when someone needs temporary support with everyday life. Every situation is different, so we encourage families to talk to our team about their circumstances and the type of care they are looking for. We can discuss individual needs and help establish whether a respite stay at Launton Grange would be suitable.

Personalised Support During Your Stay

At Launton Grange, we want respite residents to feel part of the home rather than simply staying somewhere temporarily. Before a stay begins, we work with residents and their loved ones to understand individual care needs, preferences and familiar routines. This helps us provide support that respects each person’s independence and individuality.

During their stay, residents can enjoy the home’s comfortable surroundings, freshly prepared meals and varied activities programme, with opportunities to socialise, relax and spend time doing things they enjoy. Whether someone prefers joining in with activities or taking a quieter approach to the day, we aim to help them feel comfortable and settled. Our team is available around the clock to provide support throughout their stay.
