Dementia Respite Care

At Mayflower Care Home in Northfleet, we recognise that caring for someone living with dementia can be both rewarding and demanding, and everyone needs time to rest and recharge. Our dementia respite care service offers short-term support in a safe, understanding, and comfortable environment – whether your loved one is recovering from an illness, requires extra help after a hospital stay, or their regular carer is taking a well-earned break. With 24-hour specialist dementia care, home-cooked meals, and a compassionate team always on hand, we make sure every guest feels calm, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout their stay.

Short-Term Support with Complete Peace of Mind

Choosing respite care at Mayflower Care Home means you or your loved one will receive the same high standard of care and attention that our permanent residents enjoy. Our compassionate team takes the time to understand individual needs and preferences before arrival, allowing us to create a tailored care plan that ensures comfort, dignity, and confidence from day one.

For many families, respite care offers valuable peace of mind. It gives primary carers the chance to rest and recharge while knowing their loved one is being well looked after by an experienced and supportive team.
