Respite care for the elderly provides short-term care for individuals living in their own homes in the Dorchester and Charminster areas in Dorset.
At Wolfeton Manor, we believe it is one of the most important services that we offer. Carers or family members often need a break to recharge their batteries from the demands of providing 24-hour care, and we are happy to take over the care of your loved one for any length of time.
This type of care provides a welcome break for families and full-time carers, as well as offers an opportunity for your loved one to experience our great level of care and facilities before deciding to move to us for long-term residential care.

Respite care for the elderly at our care home in Dorchester can vary from just a few hours to a few weeks, and repeat visits can be planned ahead of time so holidays can be booked well in advance.
No matter what length of time your loved one is with us, they are put at the centre of our care as we create a bespoke care plan for them, encourage them to participate in the lifestyle at our care home and enjoy our delicious home-cooked meals.
This allows us to provide respite care for a range of conditions, including dementia, Alzheimer’s and other health issues. With a CQC rating of “GOOD” from our recent report, you can be confident that your loved one will receive the best temporary respite care possible.
While designed to give primary carers a break, temporary respite care is a great way to test the waters if you are unsure about moving a loved one into our Dorset care home for the long term, as it offers the opportunity to experience the homely environment, quality care services and excellent facilities on offer at our home.

Respite care for the elderly still requires a care plan so that you can be confident your loved one is receiving the care they need.
Bespoke care plans are known for being time-consuming to create and keep updated, so we researched tools and resources that would allow us to continue providing our quality care whilst ensuring all administration and care planning is kept up to date.
We use a fantastic digital system called Person Centred Software, which allows us to easily manage your loved ones' care plan so we can pour our time and energy into caring and chatting with them rather than completing paperwork.

Caring for a loved one living with dementia can be highly rewarding yet very demanding, making it difficult for you, as a primary carer, to find time for yourself.
At Wolfeton Manor, we provide specialised dementia respite care, helping carers like yourself to find time to recharge your batteries, run errands and look after yourself so you can feel refreshed and provide quality care to your loved one.
While staying with us, your loved one is treated like a long-term resident, being encouraged to participate in our activities, make use of the facilities and enjoy our nutritious meals with others in our dining room.
