Livewell with Respite Care
Respite care is a term used to describe a period of dedicated relief for caregivers. Caring for a person with dementia can be extremely demanding. The aim of respite care is to provide some relief for carers and support them in having a break from their caring responsibilities, to look after their own health and wellbeing. A short-term care period for your loved one when you need a break to look after your own needs.
Over and above caring for our permanent residents, Livewell offers those suffering from dementia the opportunity to join us as day- or short-term visitors. To benefit from all our specialist services and staff, including a personalised meal plan, participating in our holistic and rewarding memory-care activity programmes within a safe and serene environment and a private, luxury room – all with the care of our dedicated, professional staff.
Our short-term respite care has been designed to enable caregivers to take a break from their responsibilities for a few days, or an extended period with complete peace of mind.

During your loved one’s stay, they will benefit from our permanent resident offering. Services may also be customised according to your loved one’s special needs. The care service offering includes:
