Short stays, full-hearted care
Whether you’re recovering from illness, giving a family carer a break, or simply trying us out — you’ll be welcomed with the same warmth as our long-term residents.
A break, without compromise
We offer short-term respite stays for older people who may not need to move into long-term care, but would benefit from some extra help from time to time. Whether recovering from surgery or illness, or giving a family carer a well-earned break, short stays can be arranged and repeated as often as you need.
Respite guests take part in all daily activities and receive the same high standard of care as our full-time residents — making it the perfect way to try Kelstone Court before deciding whether to move in.
Flexible care, shaped around your stay
A Well-Earned Break
For family carers who need rest, time away, or simply a moment to breathe — we’re here to step in, so you can step back, knowing your loved one is in safe and attentive hands.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay? A short stay with us provides round-the-clock support in a calm, comfortable setting — helping you regain strength at your own pace.
Try Before You Move In
A short break can also be the perfect way to experience Kelstone Court first-hand — meeting our team, settling into the rhythm of the home, and deciding whether longer-term care is right for you.
Settled in, from the very first day
Even on a short stay, you’ll have your own private room to make your own — with the freedom to bring familiar belongings, choose how you spend your days, and join in (or sit back) whenever it feels right.
Our team takes time to get to know each respite guest, so the care you receive is shaped around you. And if a short stay turns into something longer, we’ll be ready.
We’re here to talk it through.
