Thinking About Respite Care? How Langley Home Supports You and Your Loved One

If you’ve started to think about respite care, you’re likely doing so because you care deeply about someone and want to make sure they’re safe, supported and understood, while also recognising that you need space to rest and recharge.

Caring for a loved one, especially someone with complex needs, can be rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. Many families reach a point where they simply need a break, not because they aren’t capable, but because they are human.

At Oasis Care’s Langley home, our respite service is designed to support both you and the person you care for. We offer short-term stays in a warm, stable residential home where individuals receive the highest standards of support while you take the time you need.

Who We Support at Langley Home

Langley home specialises in supporting adults aged 16–65 with:

• learning disabilities

• autism

• mental health needs

• emotional or behavioural needs

• complex support needs

• communication differences or sensory needs

If you are caring for someone with any of these needs, respite may be an important part of maintaining your wellbeing and the quality of care you provide.

What Respite Care Means, A Clear Explanation

Respite care simply means that your loved one stays with us for a short period while receiving full, personalised support from trained staff. It can last from one night to several days or longer, depending on what you need.

Respite is used when carers:

• are feeling tired, stressed or burnt out

• need time for work, family or personal commitments

• are recovering from illness or emotional strain

• are facing emergencies

• need a planned break as part of a wider support plan

• want their loved one to enjoy a change of environment

Respite is not giving up care, it’s part of sustainable caring.
