Respite & Day Care
We offer high quality respite or day care for those usually care for by a friend, relative or professional carers
Respite care is a temporary living arrangement at a care home and is also known as a short stay.
At Barrowhill Hall, we appreciate the amazing work done by friends and relatives to care for their loved ones. When you’re caring full-time for a loved one, responsibilities can feel as though they’re piling on top of you. You may be unable to fulfil your care duties due to illness or injury, or you might simply need to recharge your batteries.
We believe that every carer deserves a well-earned break to dedicate some quality time to themselves. That’s why we offer respite and day care to support carers who occasionally need to take time out from their care role. You can feel secure in the knowledge that your loved one is receiving first class support in a warm and welcoming environment with friendly staff and residents.
We also offer convalescent breaks for individuals who are well enough to leave hospital but not yet well enough to return home. At Barrowhill Hall, our nursing and care teams provide first class rehabilitative care for individuals recovering from illness.
To arrange a short-term stay at our home please contact a member of our team here. We are here to help you every step of the way.
Young Onset Dementia
At Barrowhill Hall our focus is on person centred care and looking at the person rather than the diagnosis.
People with dementia whose symptoms started before they were 65 are often described as ‘younger people with dementia’ or as having young-onset dementia.
The age of 65 is used because it is the age at which people traditionally retired. However, this is an artificial cut-off point without any biological significance.
The symptoms of dementia are not determined by a person’s age. Here at Barrowhill Hall our focus is on person centred care and looking at the person rather than the diagnosis, it’s because of this, we find that the time in which a person’s journey with dementia starts can often impact in the way in which we tailor the care delivered to the individual.
In the case of those living with Early Onset or Young Onset Dementia what we deliver is tailored for that younger person, we understand younger people often have different need and require some different support and different cognitive stimulation based on likes, needs and preferences. For this very reason, we have x 4 full time activities staff.
Residential and Nursing care homes are often geared to the needs and preferences of those in their 80s and so the décor might feel very alien and discomforting. There might also be limited space inside the home. Both Barrowhill Hall and Churnet Lodge have wide and airy corridors and multiple lounges for residents to enjoy.
Wendy who’s husband Ian lives with us in Churnet Lodge says “I spent a year trying to find somewhere suitable for Ian. Churnet Lodge feels like home to him and to me – so many of the colours on the walls are the same, along with the ornaments it has wide corridors and plenty of space so he can roam around. They put so much care into making life meaningful for Ian and everyone else who lives here.”
