Respite Care in Bournemouth

Bournemouth's mix of seafront flats, family homes and a large retired population means demand for respite care is high, especially through the busy summer months. Whether you live in Boscombe, Southbourne, Kinson or Westbourne, planning a break early gives you more choice of provider.

Families often begin with home care visits so they can take a few hours for themselves each week. For holidays or longer rests, live in care keeps your loved one at home, while care homes and nursing homes along the coast offer short stays with full support.

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council funds the CRISP Carers Support Service, which offers unpaid carers information, emotional support and help to plan breaks. BCP Council's adult social care team can also arrange a carer's assessment.

Every provider listed here can be contacted directly through respite-care.co.uk. Use the filters to narrow by type of care or condition, then send a free, no obligation enquiry to the providers that suit you. If you are new to arranging a break, our guide to getting a carer’s assessment explains how to ask the council for help with the cost.
