Respite Care Winchester

Should you require respite care for recuperation and rehabilitation following illness or an operation, or your usual support network will be away, you will enjoy our comfortable, fully furnished short-stay rooms. These rooms also offer the perfect place for a peaceful break from your usual routine, with the benefit of personal care and support.

Shorter stays can often be booked at short notice, such as following an unexpected hospital stay. We do, however, suggest more advance notice, when possible, to ensure we can accommodate you.

Should you find that you need to extend your stay whilst you are with us, this may be possible so long as we are able to continue meeting your needs and have the room availability.

A short stay at The Dower House also enables you to experience our wonderful services and country-house hotel ambience and help you to decide if we are the right home for you before making a long-term commitment.

When coming to stay for a shorter period of time, your room will have, as a minimum:

  • Single bed
  • Bedside table and lamp
  • Overhead lighting
  • Wardrobe hanging space
  • Occasional table
  • High backed comfortable chair
  • Television
  • Small alarm clock

Some of our rooms also allow for extra storage by way of a chest of drawers, at least one guest chair and further table.

    All rooms are equipped with a call bell and emergency call button to enable you to call for assistance whenever needed.

    Quality care isn’t just what we do it’s how we think, act, and lead everyday

    "Dad greatly appreciated the professionalism, compassion and genuine kindness"

    "Thank you for the wonderful care you gave our Father. Dad greatly appreciated the professionalism, compassion and genuine kindness demonstrated by all the staff. It brings us great comfort that Dad was with people he knew and who cared about him on the last leg of his journey. As a family we are also very grateful for the kindness and care you extended to us. The smiles, kind words and hugs meant so much. We knew that you would take good care of Dad but the care we all received went far beyond that."
