Respite Care Home in Bath
At Ivybank House, we understand that there are times when short-term respite care is the right solution. Whether you need additional support following an illness, are recovering after a hospital stay, or your usual carer needs a well-earned break, our respite care provides high-quality support in a welcoming and reassuring environment.
Our respite care home in Bath offers flexible short-term care for older people, with every stay tailored to individual needs. From planned respite care to emergency respite care, our experienced team provide compassionate support while helping guests feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the Ivybank community.
Set within a scenic location overlooking Bath and the surrounding Somerset countryside, Ivybank House combines professional care with a peaceful setting where residents can rest, recover and enjoy their stay.
Flexible Short-Term Care to Suit Your Needs
No two respite stays are the same. Some guests stay with us while recovering from illness or surgery, while others join us following a hospital discharge or to give family carers temporary support.
Our short-term care can be suitable for:
- Hospital Recovery: A supportive environment following illness, surgery or treatment.
- Hospital Discharge: Extra care and reassurance before returning home.
- Emergency Respite Care: Immediate support when unexpected circumstances arise.
- Planned Respite Care: Pre-arranged short stays that allow family carers to take a break.
- Temporary Care: Professional support while regular care arrangements are unavailable.
Every guest receives personalised care based on their individual needs, routines and preferences, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and well supported throughout their stay.

A short stay should still feel like a positive experience. Guests receiving respite care are welcomed into our friendly community and encouraged to enjoy life at Ivybank House as much as they wish.
There are opportunities to take part in daily social activities, enjoy freshly prepared meals, spend time in our landscaped gardens and relax in comfortable communal spaces. Whether someone prefers company or quiet time, we support them in spending each day in the way that suits them best.
Many families tell us that a respite stay provides valuable reassurance, while guests often appreciate the chance to enjoy a change of scenery and meet new people in a relaxed environment.
