Respite Care
Short-term respite care is available. Residents are normally admitted for periods of between one and two weeks. Depending on the medical condition of the Service User they are invited to the home for a planned visit to meet the staff and other residents, look at their room and find out about the home before admission. The normal pre-assessment is carried out by the Manager with particular attention being made to reassure the Service User that it is only for a short stay.
Where possible the “Primary Care” is applied (based on Primary Nursing) and every effort is made to carry on with the Residents' normal daily routine so as to keep disruption of their daily routine to a minimum, the purpose being to help with continuity of care when the Service User is discharged.
If it is found after admission that extra care is needed or other services would be beneficial to the Service User then the normal carer would be contacted for consultation - except in emergency situations.
If it is intended that the Service User will be needing regular respite care then a programme will be planned with the Service User, the Resident's carer or Resident's representative being involved, admission and discharge being controlled through the home's working diary.
