Respite Care in Dorchester

Providing respite care in Dorchester for families and individuals providing full-time care is a big part of what we do here at Wolfeton Manor. Everyone needs a break on occasion and providing full-time care can be tiring; every now and then you’ll need to put your own needs first. We can provide you with the help and support you need, whether it’s just for a day or for a few weeks.

If you are looking for respite care in Dorchester, please feel free to contact Wolfeton Manor on 01305 262340 to discuss your requirements with a friendly member of our team.

Testimonial

How likely would you recommend? Extremely Likely
My aunt has been a resident of Wolfeton Manor for over a year. She is happy there and says she is well looked after. The staff provide the support she needs; they are kind and treat her with dignity. She enjoys the meals which are served in the very pleasant dining room or in her own room, if she prefers. She has her own pictures, ornaments and some furniture, which give her pleasure. She likes sitting in the lounge looking out on the extensive garden. She joins in some activities and clearly is given choices. Relatives are always made welcome.
A fantastic electronic care management system.

Person Centred Care

For many care homes, writing comprehensive care plans, keeping them up to date, and communicated with residents’ families can be a time consuming task for care staff. As it is essential, we looked into how we can continue to provide our high level of care whilst ensuring all administration and care planning is kept up to date.

We use Person Centred Software, a fantastic electronic care management system to alleviate pressure on care staff, make documenting care plans quicker and ensure all residents are safe, comfortable and happy.

Compassionate, tailored respite care in Dorchester

We adopt a person-centred approach to respite care and understand that everyone has different care needs, both medical and otherwise. We will discuss with you at length regarding your loved one’s care and dietary requirements to ensure that they have the best possible experience during their time with us.

Our care team treat all respite care residents with the same level of compassion and engagement we would if they were one of our permanent residents. That includes involving them in any activities going on that day and providing them with delicious cooked meals, courtesy of our in house chef.
