Have Yourself a Happy and Peaceful Christmas.

Are you a carer and wondering how you are going to juggle all the demands of creating a perfect Christmas for your family?

Your days whizz by in a whirl of shopping for food, shopping for gifts, cooking,decorating the house, and trying to get to that Carol service or Nativity event with the little ones.

That’s before you start feeling guilty because you haven’t got as much time to support, or spend time with the older or more dependant relatives in your life!

At Christmas, it’s more important than ever to take care of yourself to avoid burning out before the last cracker has been pulled. Family feuds and meltdowns have been well documented over the years as everyone tries to live up to the fictional image of what a Happy Christmas looks like.

If you would like to have some time to call your own and real quality time with your family and friends that sometimes means recognising you can’t do everything for everybody.

The Christmas period at Orchard House is packed full of festive activities, everyone has a cosy room to relax in, complete with a mini-Christmas tree and a stocking on the door!

Best of all, family and friends are welcome to pop in for a mince pie or stay and have a meal. Our visitors love it, relieved of the duty visits and having to make excuses for not wanting to join in the family big events, they can sit back and relax, watch what they want on TV or enjoy the company of our other visitors and care team.

We are the experts in making a respite break a holiday. All our breaks are personalised and with only 5 other residents it’s a real home from home break.

Plan ahead now and contact us to find out about our availability this Christmas and start a new family tradition that benefits everyone. We make Christmas a positive and happy experience for all the family!
