Respite Care

Respite care provides temporary, high-quality support for individuals who need assistance with daily living while their usual carer takes a break. Whether for a few days or several weeks, respite care at our three homes, Astley Grange, White Rose House, and Southfield Court, provides a safe and welcoming environment. Every resident is treated with dignity, compassion, and personalised attention.

Our goal is to give families peace of mind, knowing their loved one is receiving exceptional care in a warm, homely setting.

Benefits of Respite Care

Individuals, families and carers can all experience a wide range of benefits from respite care. Whether support is needed because a carer is taking a break, recovering from illness, attending to personal commitments, or simply needing time to rest, respite provides a safe and dependable solution that maintains continuity of care.

At Mulberry Care Homes in Kirklees, respite stays are designed to feel seamless, supportive and truly person-centred. Residents receive the same high standard of care as our long-term residents, ensuring peace of mind for everyone involved.

A respite stay can also provide a refreshing change of scenery, opportunities for social engagement, and a helpful step between hospital care and returning home, making it a valuable option during many stages of later life.

Testimonials

  • Astley Grange was like a breath of fresh air after Dad had been assessed in a dowdy dreary local nursing home. Astley Grange is bright and very clean. A janitor on site clearly maintains the home to a good standard. The staff have been really lovely and we did have our favourites – all of them. The laundry ladies and the facility itself is first-class!

  • I highly recommend White Rose Care Home for end-of-life care. Absolutely fantastic. My dad was admitted for end-of-life care in December 2023 and died in February 2024.
    The care he received was outstanding. All staff members are friendly, caring and professional, nothing was too much for them. They not only looked after my dad but also supported all the family and this support has continued since Dad died as they now invite my mum to social events they hold. I can’t thank them enough for the care and support we all received.

  • My mum is very well cared for at Southfield Court. Her medical needs are fully met and GP is involved as required. The nursing team are very supportive. All staff are friendly and helpful and my mum likes them. She has been able to stay in her room which she really likes and it’s maintained to a high standard. Thank you.
