Our main respite offer

Being a full-time carer is a very demanding role. At Claire House we offer all our families respite care breaks so you have some time to just be a parent again, safe in the knowledge that your child is receiving the very best care.

Overnight respite

You will have a staff member caring for your child and you are welcome to ask any questions. Parent/s are expected to stay overnight with their child for the first night, we have parents bedrooms available or you may stay in your child’s room if you prefer.

Overnight respite Allocation:

We will send you your respite allocation split into two, six-month periods.

Within each six-month period we can offer you two three-night stays.

These consist of one three-night stay which will be allocated Fri-Mon, and one three-night stay which will be allocated Mon-Thurs.

You do have the option to use both of these together for a stay from Friday to Thursday.

This offer may be split with the day-care allocation.

Day-care offer

We provide respite in the day at Claire House Wirral, Claire House Liverpool or within the family home. Day-care can provide respite for families and a fun session for the child/young person. We ensure care plans and medication charts are up to date prior to your child attending and follow regimes and protocols for the day to ensure safety. We plan activities and trips out, all tailored to meet the needs of each child/young person.

If you only want sessions within School holidays or weekends, this offer is reduced.

This offer may be split with the overnight in-house allocation.

Stay and Play offer

We appreciate not all families wish for overnight respite or day-care and may not feel ready to leave their child at Claire House, therefore we offer stay and play groups. Stay and Play Groups are planned once a month alternating between Claire House Wirral and Claire House Liverpool for two hours. Groups are family orientated and offer a safe and fun environment for children/young people and parents/carers. We provide free play, music, sensory, story and crafts. Groups are able to build relationship with Claire House and provide peer support for families.

Emergency Respite

Emergency respite is available to all children and families in the event of end of life care, symptom management, step down care, a family crisis, family illness or bereavement, parent/carer exhaustion, or a breakdown in care package.

To make sure we support people in the most need, access to emergency respite is dependent on our availability and takes into account the circumstances leading to the need for support.
