Elderly Short-Term Holiday Care

At Devon Lodge, we provide flexible holiday care and short-term care stays tailored to the individual needs of each guest. Whether you need support while your usual carer is away, are looking for a comfortable break following a busy period, or simply want to experience life at Devon Lodge, our team is here to provide professional and compassionate care.

With tailor-made care for stays of different lengths, we aim to provide comfort, companionship and peace of mind for both guests and their families.

Short-Term and Holiday Care for Older People

There are many reasons why an older person may need care for a short period. At Devon Lodge, our holiday care can provide a safe and welcoming environment while a regular family carer takes a break.

A short-term care stay may be suitable if your usual carer is:

  • Going on holiday
  • Travelling for work
  • Taking a well-earned break
  • Temporarily unable to provide care
  • Taking time to rest and recharge

Our flexible approach means that care can be arranged around your individual circumstances wherever possible.

A Comfortable Short Stay at Devon Lodge

We want every guest to feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Our friendly team provides personalised care and support, while our welcoming environment offers opportunities to relax, socialise and enjoy a change of surroundings.

From the moment you arrive, our aim is to make your short-term care stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Holiday Care with Personalised Support

Everyone has different care requirements, even when staying for a short period. We take the time to understand each guest’s needs, routines and preferences so that we can provide appropriate support throughout their stay.

Our holiday care for older people can provide reassurance to families while giving guests access to professional care in a comfortable environment.

Could a Short Stay Lead to Longer-Term Care?

A holiday care stay at Devon Lodge can also be an opportunity to experience the environment before making a decision about longer-term care.

For families considering a permanent move into care, a short stay can provide an opportunity to get to know our team, experience daily life at Devon Lodge and see whether our approach to care is right for you or your loved one.

There is no obligation to make a decision about longer-term care, but experiencing Devon Lodge first-hand can help make the process more familiar and reassuring.

Our team is happy to discuss your requirements and the length of stay you are considering.

What is holiday care?

Holiday care provides temporary residential support for individuals who need care for a short period of time. It is often arranged when a regular carer is away on holiday, travelling for work, or taking time to rest.

 

Who is holiday care suitable for?

Holiday care can be suitable for older adults who would benefit from additional support, companionship and a safe environment while their regular carer is unavailable.

 

How long can a holiday care stay last?

At Devon Lodge, we provide flexible short-term stays tailored to individual requirements. Stays can vary in length depending on personal needs and circumstances.

 

What support is available during a holiday care stay?

Guests can benefit from personalised support, assistance with day-to-day activities where needed and access to a friendly, welcoming environment with professional care available throughout their stay.

 

Can holiday care help someone considering long-term care?

Yes. A holiday care stay can provide an opportunity to experience life at Devon Lodge, meet our team and become familiar with the environment before making any future long-term care decisions.

 

What are the benefits of holiday care?

Holiday care offers reassurance for both residents and families by providing temporary support in a comfortable environment. It can also provide social interaction, companionship and peace of mind while a regular carer takes a break.

 

How do I arrange a holiday care stay?

Arranging holiday care is simple. Contact our team to discuss your requirements, ask questions and learn more about the personalised short-term care options available at Devon Lodge.
