Respite Care

At Tanglewood we understand as a carer there may be times when you are looking for a short break. We recognise that looking after your loved one on a 24 hour basis can become exhausting and tiring. We can support you to take a break, whilst knowing that your loved one is safe and being taken care of in the comfort of a Tanglewood Home.

Our Guide to Respite Care

Tanglewood’s Approach To Respite Care

It may be that your loved one needs a change in environment, to meet new friends, and have the stimulation of new activities. We can also support you with this decision. Respite can provide a valuable break, and may also provide some reassurance to an individual that is finding making the decision to make the move permanently into a care home. This gives them an opportunity to experience one of our homes before making a commitment.

Our respite care homes use technology to improve resident experiences, including respite care homes like Trent Bridge Care Home in West Bridgford and Bingley Park Care Home in Bingley use the LifeLibrary app. Using this technologyfamilies are able to create a digital memory book that guides our personalised activity plans for residents. It’s this type of commitment to connection that results in your loved one’s preferences being at the heart of their time with us at Tanglewood care homes. 

We can provide respite care for Residential, Dementia and Nursing.

Testimonials

"I’ve been here a long time. I left once to be nearer to my family but nothing was like Cedar Falls so I rang the Home Manager and asked to come back. I’m pretty independent and enjoy being in the bungalow. I do keep to myself a lot but can join in whenever I feel like it."
