An at-times tremendously upsetting and difficult experience for all families and loved ones, end-of-life and palliative care is a vocation for every one of us..
If you’re visiting the UK from abroad and require expert care for a loved one or visiting one of the world’s leading medical communities for care or surgery..
Post-surgical recovery can be long, tiring and also frustrating for the individual, carer and loved ones. Loveday’s post-surgical respite service focuses on recovery..
Our expert team works collaboratively with your consultants and a multi-disciplinary medical team to create a care and rehabilitation plan to optimise recovery..
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.

Our families and lifestyles are unique – and so are our care needs. There are many respite care options available, and which option is best for you depends on your requirements, personal circumstances, and the reasons for seeking respite care.
Firstly, it’s key to identify what kind of care you need – Do you want it in the home environment, or at a dedicated residence? What kind of facilities will be required to care for your loved one fully. This will vary depending on age, physical health, and emotional wellbeing.
Choosing your care partner is both an emotive and practical decision. They need to 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, 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.
How long does respite care last?
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.
Can I receive respite care at home?
Yes. At home respite care is a popular choice for cares who just need short but regular breaks for work or to run errands, particularly where Members have significant mobility issues. This service is usually blended with our day club in order for guests to experience the full benefits of Loveday membership.
