Elmhurst Short Stay

Elmhurst Short Stay is part of our older people's service and offers respite for reasons such as:

• regular breaks for carers/families.
• temporary stay due to house renovations, awaiting equipment, or for homecare services to start.
• following time in hospital, where there is a need for a period of recovery, rehabilitation or convalescence (you may have heard the term IMC, which means intermediate care - scroll down for more information on this).
• following urgent and/or unforeseen emergency situations which require people to vacate their own homes immediately or to keep them safe. 
• a holiday for your own benefit.

Quotes from people who services at this site:

“Thank you for all your care and kindness. I have been very happy here and will be sad to say goodbye.” 

“Thank you for looking after mum so well. It’s a relief to know she’s safe when I’m away.” 

“Thank you for all the care and support you gave my dad and my family over the last couple of months before dad sadly passed away. You went above and beyond to help and support us and it was much appreciated.” 

“I wish to thank you all for the care you gave us both during my wife’s stay. I will never forget how you “put up” with me. We will never forget you all and the blessings you gave us.”
