Respite Care in Wirral

Specialising in care for older people and those with more advanced care conditions, The Hazelwell is a purpose-built care home in Wirral that provides Respite Care, as well as offering Residential Care, Nursing Care, and Dementia Care for up to 55 residents.

Our home offers beautiful accommodation and first-class facilities, making us a perfect option for those who require respite in the local area of Heswall and the surrounding communities of Thurstaston and Barnston. To allow our residents to feel settled and integrate well into the home, we have a minimum length of stay of 3 weeks.

What is Respite Care?

The purpose of Respite Care is to provide a break to carers and loved ones who usually care for someone day-to-day. Respite Care can be given in a variety of ways such as by day care centres, in one’s own home by a visiting paid carer, or in a care home. This means that Respite Care can vary in length, from a few hours to short breaks that can last several weeks. Respite Care can also be used as an alternative care option for those who require additional help during their recovery from an illness or hospital procedure.
