Respite care can be an invaluable service for families navigating the demands of caregiving. At Woodlands, we offer more than just a temporary solution; we create a home-from-home where residents feel valued and supported during their stay. With comfortable living spaces, personalised care plans, and a strong sense of community, our respite care services are designed to enhance the wellbeing of every individual we support.

Conveniently located in Lower Deeside, our care home welcomes individuals from across Aberdeenshire for respite stays. Whether you’re looking for short-term care to accommodate travel plans, recovery after a hospital visit, or simply a well-deserved break, Woodlands Care Home is here to help.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care provides short-term support for people who need assistance with daily living, whether due to illness, recovery, or temporary absence of their regular carers. It offers families and caregivers the opportunity to take a break, knowing their loved one is in a safe, caring environment.

At Woodlands Care Home, our respite care services in Aberdeenshire are tailored to meet the unique needs of each resident. From assistance with personal care to engaging activities and social opportunities, we focus on creating a positive and fulfilling experience for everyone. Respite care can also be a useful way for individuals to experience life in a care home setting before deciding on long-term residential care.
