OVER 4 MILLION CASUAL CARERS - RICHMOND PAINSWICK CAN HELP
There are now over 4 million casual carers in the UK according to latest Government figures and most are so devoted to the person they care for they will often soldier on at the expense of their own health.
Respite care at Richmond Painswick can help alleviate the difficulties facing carers by giving them some personal space to recharge their batteries, while the person they care for is well-looked after at the purpose-built, luxury retirement village.
Richmond Painswick is currently running a special offer on short breaks so that carers can have some valuable time for themselves, while the friend or relative they care for can enjoy the luxury accommodation and facilities.
This five star hotel-style environment is the perfect place to unwind, and excellent elderly nursing and personal care is available 24 hours a day. A stay at Richmond Painswick comes with the peace of mind - for both the carer and the person they care for - knowing that help is on hand if required. So both parties can fully relax.
Village manager, Susie Oakley says: “Carers, who are often family member or friends, can be under a lot of stress, and looking after an elderly person can be a source of constant concern. Problems often occur when the carer becomes ill themselves and may not be able to look after their friend or relative. A short break can make all the difference and allow the carer to maintain control over their lives so they can continue to offer dedicated support to their loved one.”
A choice of beautifully appointed accommodation is available: an apartment comprising a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom; a suite which has an en-suite bedroom and galley kitchen, or a luxury room with en-suite shower room.
First class facilities at this purpose-built retirement village include a wellness spa with three treatment rooms, a large swimming pool, sauna, steam room, a fully-equipped gymnasium and fitness studio, a café, shop and hairdressing salon - all available to guests during their stay.
The superb restaurant is on a par with a five star hotel and serves excellent meals, but guests can choose to opt for room service if they prefer. The village has an elegant drawing room, library/IT room and a rooftop garden where guests can sit and read in the sunshine or relax and enjoy the surrounding views.
There are many social activities at the village which guests are also welcome to attend.
Richmond Painswick comprises a handsome collection of Cotswold stone properties built to blend beautifully with the local architecture, and just minutes from the pretty village of Painswick which is accessible via the free car service.
Prices for this special offer are available during the Spring and range from £699 for a luxury room to around £999 for a stay in an apartment* and includes all the personal care required (subject to an assessment of personal care needs and based on single occupancy). To book a Spring break, contact Lea Burcombe, Carolyn Birkin or Allison De Wet on 01452 813902.
Richmond Painswick is open to anyone over 55 years and is located in Stroud Road, Painswick, Gloucestershire, GL6 6UL.
