Respite Care
At Knightwood Court in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, Nr Southampton, Hampshire, we offer a range of respite care services which give older people and their carers short-term breaks.
Knightwood Court offers spacious, pleasant en-suite rooms available within our residential care home. Caring, expert staff focus on well-being, independence and a return to ‘home life’ as soon as possible.
The highly flexible services cover:
- respite – people who are caring for an elderly relative or friend can call on us to provide a respite service, on a regular, occasional or one-off basis. Respite care gives support to families and allows carers to take a valuable break or holiday.
- support for couples – if one partner’s care needs have increased, the second may temporarily need some extra help and support. We have adjoining rooms available.
- families in crisis – we can provide valuable ‘breathing time’ while families recover from a setback or need time to look into long-term residential care options. This can help to avoid rushed decisions and costly, disruptive mistakes.
Supported Care Apartment – we also have a self-contained, well-appointed two bedroom apartment available for short-term rent for people over 50 who need respite care or just a break for between one and six weeks. There is full access to Knightwood’s excellent facilities as well as the peace of mind which comes from knowing care and support services are on hand 24 hours a day.
We offer high quality hotel services, a relaxed welcoming environment, beautiful landscaped grounds and purpose-built modern facilities.
Testimonials
“They made her initial assessment very friendly and easy and this made her transition into their care very smooth. All the staff, both admin and carers, are very professional and friendly – superb really. Also, their procedures seem really good – e.g. for issuing of medication and the associated record keeping etc. They’ve also been really prompt at calling in the GP for my mother when the need has arisen. Additionally, the quality of the accommodation and facilities (for assisted bathing etc) are really good. Finally, they’ve made a great job of managing the current covid situation and have been really communicative to me about this via regular letters. All in all, highly recommended.”
Son of resident
“My father spent the last two weeks of his life here. The care and compassion shown to him was immense. The staff showed a care way beyond ‘just a job’. I can’t put into words what that meant to my mother and I and indeed my father. I can’t put a price on what it meant. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to other people.”
Daughter of resident
“My mother was impressed with the warmth, friendliness and professionalism of all staff. She was well looked after. She has had short stays at Knightwood for the last 10 years and this facility has helped mum to enjoy time with her family nearby. I can’t speak highly enough of all at Brendoncare Knightwood – it is very well run.”
Daughter of resident
“During her last years my Mum lived at Brendoncare Knightwood Court where she was, without fail, treated with thoughtful and dignified care and respect by all staff, day and night. Care, housekeeping, maintenance and management staff consistently showed patience and friendly interest in their dealings with her, and genuine concern that she was content. They made her feel secure and well cared for every single day.”
Daughter of resident
“Mum was living at Brendoncare for nearly nine years and from day one until the end she was extremely happy there. Socially, she was involved until her latter time there and the care from everyone involved with her was first class. Nothing was too much trouble from first thing in the morning until the last thing at night. We, as a family, cannot thank you all enough.”
Daughter of resident.
