Short term care
Our short term care service will help you take a break and plan activities like a holiday with the knowledge and reassurance the person in your care will be looked after. We offer short term care for a few days or up to several weeks. It is very important to us that everyone feels at home during their stay with us, so our staff will take time to understand your loved one's needs and likes.
Booking in
It is best to plan and book a Bupa Short Stay with us as far in advance as possible. That way we can make sure we have a place for the person in your care.
Involving your doctor
The person in your care will need to have seen their doctor within the past three months, as their own doctor will continue to care for them during their stay with us.
- Please ensure that a medication list has been supplied by their doctor.
- For any acute or after hours medical assessments, we may need to contact one of our on-call doctors if their own doctor is not available.
- Our staff will give the person in your care their medication at the usual times.
- If they wish to manage their own medication, the person in your care will need a note from their doctor confirming they are able to do this.
Your day, your way
When the person in your care comes to stay with us, we will use the information supplied to develop a care plan so that our team understand the way your loved one prefers to be cared for. Families are most welcome to join us in developing this plan.
Please give us a call – we're happy to answer any questions you may have.
