Stay with us a while
Our Members can enjoy short-stay respite care in our luxurious surroundings from a few weeks to longer periods. Loveday Stays offers the same excellent care and activities as that experienced by resident Members.
Urgent Respite Care, with round-the-clock care. For hip or knee surgery, our care and support from physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and rehabilitation can enhance recovery in an environment of five-star hospitality. If urgent care is needed, Members have priority access to our suites. And, if you’re visiting the UK from abroad and need expert care for one of the family, Loveday Holiday Stays are the answer.
Caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and stressful. So Loveday Stays gives family carers a break and peace of mind.
Palliative care and end-of-life care is a vocation for everyone at Loveday and we follow the accredited Gold Standards framework.
Loveday Stays also provide security to families if their previous care support is no longer available. Members can be looked after in comfort until new care arrangements are in place.

The dictionary definition of respite is 'an interval of relief' – it is a period where the carer can take a break from caring, safe in the knowledge that the loved one they care for is in the best possible hands. When properly arranged, respite care can provide demonstrable benefits to both the carer and the guest.
Respite at Loveday is tailored to your care needs, whether it’s just a few days’ rest, post-surgery recuperation or a longer-term stay, our specialist team will prepare a respite care plan that works for you and your family.
Caring for a loved one is undoubtedly a rewarding experience but can be demanding, and prioritising one’s own mental health, travel plans or wellbeing can be incredibly stressful when a loved one depends on you. Our mission is to remove that stress whilst providing world-class care to our respite guests.
Loveday Stays presents devoted family carers with a temporary break and true peace of mind, in the knowledge that all Members receive first-class care in a safe and supportive environment.

Being a Loveday Member gives you further reassurance that all eventualities are covered, as daily respite is provided as part of The Loveday Day Club.

Lastly, as a Member, you have priority access to short-term rooms at Loveday in the case of a care emergency at home.
Our families and lifestyles are unique – and so are our care needs. There are many respite care options available. Which option is best for you depends on your requirements, personal circumstances and the reasons for seeking respite care.
First, it’s key to identify what kind of care you need. Do you want it in a home environment or at a dedicated residence? What kind of facilities will be required to care for your loved one fully? This varies depending on age, physical health, and emotional wellbeing.
Choosing your care partner is a decision which is both emotive and practical. It must meet the medical and physical needs of your loved one, who needs to be happy and comfortable with the care option. And you, as the caregiver, need to be certain of the capabilities of the team that will be around them.
At Loveday, our respite service is prescriptive. Our team will discuss your needs both in practical and emotive terms and design a care plan that meets all criteria. This may be a holiday stay at one of our luxury residences, Loveday Day Club enrolment over a given period or at-home care visits. There is no one-size-fits-all solution and many of our Members enjoy a blend of respite services throughout their care journey with us.
For as long as you need it. Our team will design a tailored care plan with you, but we understand that things change. Whether holiday plans are disrupted, or you decide your loved one should continue to benefit from our care for a longer period, our service is flexible. Communication is at the heart of our service, enabling us to be reactive to changing needs.
Yes. Loveday at Home respite care is a popular choice for carers who just need short but regular breaks for work or to run errands, particularly where Members have significant mobility issues.
