MELM Care's  Supported Living Houses offer RESPITE CARE and Short-term Stays for people requiring temporary care and support.

Respite care breaks not only provide a safe and friendly environment for potential clients but can also offer family caregivers a well-earned break and holiday.

• Respite Breaks or Short-term Stays can cover a variety of planned or unplanned circumstances e.g. caregiver illnesses, absences or holidays.
  
  
• Depending on the circumstances and an individual’s needs, a respite stay can range from a few days to a few weeks and can be arranged on a recurring or one-off basis.
  
  
• MELM Care is dedicated to providing personally tailored support that meets the individual needs of all residents, whatever level of care they require and however long they are staying with us. 
  
  
• Care is provided by well-trained, caring staff fully committed to making even the shortest of stays pleasant and meaningful. 

People staying with us on respite care breaks are encouraged to take full advantage of the chance to meet new people and try some new things.

Choosing a Supported Living Placement can be daunting and short stays can be a good way for people to familiarise themselves with the Supported Living environment and try out a potential permanent placement.
