Haven Community Care · Guide
Short Term Accommodation (STA) and respite give participants a break from routine and carers time to rest and recharge. A little preparation helps everyone feel comfortable.
- Share routines, favourite foods, medication needs and what helps when things feel hard.
- Pack familiar items – a favourite blanket, music or photos.
- Visit or meet the team beforehand, if possible.
- Agree on how and when family will check in.
Carers deserve rest without guilt. A good stay is one where the participant is safe, respected and having a positive experience too.
