Respite Care

Respite care in Lytham St Annes at Windmill Lodge provides short-term stays for older adults who need temporary support, giving family caregivers a valuable break while ensuring their loved one is safe and well looked after. These stays can last from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on individual circumstances such as recovery from illness, holidays or simply a need for extra help at home. We welcome people for respite alongside our long-term residential, dementia and nursing care, making it easy to experience life at our home on a short-term basis.

What is Respite Care in Lytham St Annes?

Respite care offers a break for family caregivers, with peace of mind that professional support is provided in a home-like setting. It helps with daily tasks such as personal care, meals and medication and is tailored to the needs of each individual. This type of care is often used after hospital discharge, during family holidays or when caregivers need to tend to other responsibilities.

Many families choose respite care to test how a care home might suit their loved one long term. It provides a chance to see the facilities, meet the team and settle into routines, all while receiving consistent support. The focus is on comfort and reassurance, so both the resident and their family can feel confident before making the permanent move.
