Why not come along and join our friends from Dementia Forward for this enjoyable fund raising event? It’s a great opportunity to see the beautifully revamped South Cliff Gardens if you haven’t already been. If you see us, pop by and say hello!
It’s not too late to book a stay for the person in your care. Late summer and early autumn are great times to enjoy some me-time, which is so very important for care givers. I like this analogy from psychotherapist and author Anna Mathur: when you spend all your time and energy filling everyone else’s cups, your own cup sits empty. Taking a short break to recharge your own batteries leaves you both physically andmentally better equipped to carry on as a caregiver.
For many people, the idea of a break from caring can induce feelings of guilt and concern about the level of care and attention that will be given to the person in your care during your absence. At Orchard House, we aim to give you the peace of mind that comes from trusted friends and family. Our relationship starts as soon as youcontact us, and our step-by-step approach gives you confidence that the person you have entrusted into our care is in good hands.
How does it work?
• Get in touch for a friendly chat so we can get to know more about your needs.
• Plan for an assessment; we can do this at your home or at Orchard House.
The assessment is to ensure we can meet the person in your care’s needs — your involvement is important because it’s often the little details that matter!
• Talk about dates: we can be flexible with dates and the break can be as long or short as you’d like.
• Arrange for the individual’s arrival and a warm welcome. We like to make a stay with us feel like a holiday, meeting the team and getting to know each other is so much easier when there are only six residents!
• Relax, recharge and enjoy your break. Our small, family-run home feels like a home-from-home, and our caring team go the extra mile to make sure that the person in your care enjoys their break just as much as you do!
If you’re ready to plan a break that benefits you and the person you care for, get in

Ageing and disability can often result in loneliness and social isolation, which can, in turn, lead to low mood and a reluctance to get out and about.
At Orchard House, we provide day opportunities that can help individuals rebuild their confidence and promote social interaction, which has positive benefits for mental health and well-being.
We tailor our activities to meet the interests of the people we care for, and we encourage everyone to enjoy trying something new. At Orchard House, we have curated a caring and supportive environment where age and ability don’t define the individual.
Informal visits are welcome, call in and see us in action, or if you would prefer you can give us a ring to arrange a chat with one of our team to discuss your needs: 01723 378220.

In need of a break from your caring role?
Due to a last-minute cancellation, we have some availability in one of our short-stay respite rooms.
Orchard House is the first choice for respite care. We do it best, because it’s our focus!
If the person you support needs respite care for a week or longer, our 6-bed purpose-built home will give them the care they need with a home-from-home feel.
We make sure our guests feel like they are on holiday, so that you can enjoy your break with the peace of mind of knowing that they are in good hands.
Informal visits are welcome, or you can ring us to see how we can help.
