Respite care

Here you will find places that are said to offer Respite Care. They have asked us to tell you about them.

The best way to find out if you like a care facility is to visit it and see what it is like.

You could telephone first and arrange a visit, or you could just turn up and ask to look round.

You can get a list of local care homes by looking in the Yellow Pages (under Residential and Retirement or Nursing Homes) or you can search online at http://www.bettercaring.com/.

Situated near Poole, the site is also a perfect base from which to explore the world heritage Jurassic Coast, and countless other Dorset attractions.
