Respite or convalescent: which stay do you need?
Respite care gives a family carer a break: a planned stay of a few days to a few weeks while the person they care for is looked after in a care home. Convalescent care is a stay to recover, usually after a hospital stay, an operation or an illness, before going home. Both are booked the same way, and the same homes often provide both.
How to book a short stay
- Ask several homes the same day. Short-stay rooms are limited and book up weeks ahead in summer and at Christmas.
- Give the dates and the care needed. Nursing, dementia or help after an operation changes which homes can take someone: 0 homes near Hedon are registered for nursing.
- Ask about a minimum stay and what the weekly fee includes, in writing.
- Send the essentials ahead: medicines list, GP details, care needs and any hospital discharge letter.
- Ask East Riding of Yorkshire council for a carer's assessment if the stay is to give a family carer a break: respite may be funded or part-funded.

Respite care homes in Hedon: questions

Will the council pay for respite care?
Often, at least in part. Ask the council for a carer's assessment for the family carer and a needs assessment for the person who needs care: respite is a common way councils support carers. It is means-tested, but for a short stay the person's home is ignored, so only savings and income count. The usual upper limit in England is £23,250.
What is convalescent care, and does the NHS pay?
Convalescent care is a short stay to recover, usually after a hospital stay or illness. If the hospital or council arranges it as intermediate care or reablement, it is free for up to six weeks. If you arrange it yourself, it is paid like any respite stay. Ask the hospital discharge team before someone leaves hospital.
