Respite care. Help please.

Advice needed. A family member is caring for elderly parent. They  need respite and are looking for a really nice respite care home fo a couple of weeks. They also at some point need more regular daily care and help in te home.  Can anyone offer any advice please.  They are prepared to travel fo the respite care. Thank you.

I think that St Mary’s nursing home in Chiswick may offer this.

I would look at St. Mary’s as I know they do this. My mother in law moved there full time in March and is very happy there. They are very caring.0208 994 4641.

Which borough do you fall under? Ealing or Hounslow? The Commissioning team for Older Persons services from either should be able to point you in the direction of a number of options.St Mary's as mentioned by others is a good facility, but is expensive in comparison to a number of other local residential/nursing homes that offer respite.If you're looking to get regular care in the home, it will be more cost effective for you to go through your local authority than booking privately, as there are economies of scale in the care contracts that Council's let that aren't available to private individuals (that will apply to respite care too).

Depends on where they are but of the ‘groups’ I would recommend Barchester homes.  My mother was with them for nearly 6 months end of life care and they were caring and good Camberley.  A friend ‘s brother was with them for nearly 11 years following a road accident could not fault them,  Newcastle.There is one at Isleworth and reported to be good.
