Convalescent Care

Convalescent care is offered to an individual who has recently spent some time in hospital after a fall, surgery, or illness. This involves a short-term stay at one of our homes (under the expert supervision of our fully qualified team) and offers them the chance to recuperate and rest before returning home.

What is convalescent care?

SFP Kingsley Brackley 178

Convalescent care plays a crucial role in the recovery process and can often streamline and speed it up. It alleviates the burden and strain on families to care for their loved ones, who may need round-the-clock support and attention.

Benefits of convalescent care?

Everybody knows the feeling of helplessness and distress when a loved one is not well. When an elderly family member is discharged from hospital after suffering an injury or illness, they often become easily fatigued, disorientated, and emotional. They require adequate time and quality care to regain their health, independence, confidence, and quality of life.

We can offer them comprehensive professional convalescent care services to provide them with everything they need in a therapeutic, soothing environment. They will have the time, space, and resources to get back on their feet whilst also giving their families peace of mind and the support they need in what is almost always a very trying time.

As with all the other types of care we offer, residents can enjoy all the benefits of a comforting, welcoming environment, luxuriously appointed bedrooms, delectable meals, regular activities, and discreet care when required.

At our homes, those in convalescent care benefit from having our expertly trained and highly compassionate care team on hand 24/7 – a logistical component most families struggle to provide in their own homes. This makes the recovery process that much easier, as there is no need to worry about seeing to their additional needs, such as cooking meals, care needs, and assisting with daily tasks and chores.

Summary
