If your loved one requires a short-term stay at a care home, they may be feeling nervous and have a lot of questions about what to expect. Let us talk you through the different types of short-term care and the benefits of each…

Types of short-term care

There are two main types of short-term care that we provide at Jackman’s Lodge.

Convalescent care services

Convalescent care services provide support for a short period of time, allowing your loved one to recover and rehabilitate following an illness, injury or hospital treatment. This type of care will help your loved one avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and focus on restoring their health and confidence after their illness.

If you think that your loved one needs extra support after an illness or operation, Jackman’s Lodge could be the ideal facility for them to recuperate. Our convalescent care services ensure that your loved one will be cared for throughout their entire recovery period. To learn more about our convalescent care home, please click here.

Respite care

Respite care is short-term care that allows a carer to take a break from looking after their loved one. Although caring for a loved one can be rewarding, it can also be very physically and mentally demanding for the family member. We all need a break from time to time and respite care allows your loved one to be safely cared for whilst you take some much-needed time to yourself.

Here at Jackman’s Lodge, our specialist respite care services allow your loved one to receive the care that they need whilst you take the time to rest and recuperate. To learn more about respite care at our elderly care home, please click here.
