More about
Respite Care in Bolnore
Arranging respite care for someone you love is rarely an easy decision, especially if it's the first time they've spent a night away from home. At Crossways, we understand that families near Bolnore want reassurance that their relative will be looked after with the same care and attention they'd give themselves.
Our 25-bed home is small enough that staff get to know each resident's routines, preferences and little habits, even during a short stay. Many families use respite care at Crossways to cover a holiday, a hospital stay, or simply to have a rest from the demands of caring. Others use it as a gentle way to see how residential care might suit their loved one before making a longer-term decision.
Whatever the reason, our long-standing and qualified care team are used to welcoming new faces and helping them settle in quickly. Crossways is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission and is recommended by families on carehome.co.uk, which gives peace of mind to those searching from Bolnore who may not know the home personally yet.
Being based in Lindfield, just outside Haywards Heath, means the home is easy to reach for visits, and close enough for family to pop in during a stay. We know that no two respite stays are the same, so we take time to understand your relative's needs, health and personality before they arrive. This means that even a short stay at Crossways feels considered and personal, rather than rushed or generic.
