For people over the age of 65 years, who wish to carry on living independently, but without the need to worry about the tasks and stresses of maintaining a household.

This allows them to focus solely on the things they enjoy most in life, and to spend quality time with friends and family. Alternatively, it can be for those who may now feel the need for some level of support with personal care, washing, dressing and other daily activities.

The level of support and care is dependent on the individual's needs to ensure the appropriate level is provided at all times.  An individual Care Plan is developed and continually updated and discussed with the resident and family members (if wished). We carry out daily reviews of the care plan to ensure all staff are updated and made aware if the person’s needs or wishes change.

Residents who live at Peasmarsh Place, will always be supported to have a high quality of care as they approach the end of their lives whilst living with us. We have good access to local community nursing and medical services which can often assist to make final days as comfortable as possible, but are not able to provide in-house nursing care. We do not therefore, admit new Residents who are already diagnosed with terminal illnesses which will require the skills of a qualified nurse to support them.

For people over 65 years who have a wish or need to stay in residential care for a short period of time.

We also offer holiday stays to support your normal full time / part time carers who may need a break of their own – with maximum peace of mind – so that they can take time for themselves.

Respite care should be a proper break for you and them. It provides the opportunity for your normal carers to rest, recuperate and re-energise, or simply catch up on life, knowing that you are safely cared for in the short term.

Respite care could be an option when, for example :

• May suffer from a short illness and feel the need of external assistance and care.
• May want a break from daily routine and enjoy a short holiday in a peaceful and beautiful place.
• When someones family or carers need a have a break or take a holiday.

Trial stays can be arranged for people deciding if converting to residential care with us here or confirming if Peasmarsh Place is the right decision, or if this is the right Home for them.

We do not maintain a permanent respite room, however, provisional bookings can be taken with confirmation 2 weeks prior to the date required.
