Restful For All
Respite care at Maldon Lodge gives families flexibility while ensuring loved ones receive the same high-quality care, attention, and warmth as our permanent residents.
Short term care is ideal for recovery after a hospital stay, carer holidays, or a short-term trial before a more permanent move.

Included in Respite Care
Every guest at The Lodge receives the same level of service whether short term resident or long. During respite care, you will be provided with:
- Comfortable, fully furnished rooms (ensuite options available).
- 24/7 personalised care from our trained and friendly team.
- Access to all home facilities including gardens, dining, activities, and communal lounges.
- Nutritious, home-cooked meals tailored to individual dietary needs.
- A varied daily activities programme that supports wellbeing and social connection.

Who Gets The Most From Respite?
Respite benefits the individual being cared for and their family. Respite care is well suited for:
- Older adults recovering from illness, surgery, or hospital stays.
- Families and carers who need time to rest or travel.
- Individuals considering a permanent stay who want to experience the home first.

Our Approach
Respite guests are welcomed as part of our home and receive the same level of care, attention, and companionship as long-term residents.
All stays are tailored to the individual's needs, with a full care plan put in place from day one. We provide a welcoming, safe, and fully supported environment throughout the entire stay.

Respite Booking Info
Please note the minimum respite stay is 2 weeks but there is no maximum stay.
Respite care is available through the year but is subject to availability. Care can be booked in advance or we can accommodate you on short notice if we have a room available.
We offer friendy no-pressure tours of the home to give you an opportunity to get to know us if time allows. This often works well if you have surgery planned in advance and are seeking planned respite care booked in advance of a hospital admission date.
