Respite Care at Chaucer House

Respite, or short stay care, at Avante Chaucer House in Canterbury is for those residents who do not require long-term care. A short-term stay can be used for a period of convalescence after an operation, accident, or illness or because the resident’s usual carer is on holiday or a short break.

We do all we can to reassure you about your stay, and on arrival, you will be greeted by our move-in team, who will help you settle into your environment and room. We provide respite care for residents requiring residential, nursing, or dementia care.

Respite Care Experience

We take the same care to ensure that all our residents receive a personalised care plan regardless of whether they are respite or long-term residents. Each respite resident receives the same high standards of care. We believe “everyone matters”; we want to ensure that everyone receives the full benefits of living at Chaucer House, from our exceptional facilities to enjoying our wonderful menus, activities, and entertainment.

Our ethos is that at an Avante Care Home, “every resident can live a vibrant and fulfilling life.” Many of our short stays are repeated, and often our respite residents decide to stay for the longer term once they have experienced life at Chaucer House.
