We know that people who care need a break and sometimes this involves leaving your loved on e in what might be called respite or short break c are. However this is a different type of break\, p roviding a safe space and a group of other people in a similar situation to enjoy a break together i n community.
\n \nIf you are a carer then you coul d come alone\, but we are imagining most will come with the person they support. Othona offers a war m welcome\, beautiful grounds and homecooked meals \, often with home grown produce. This will be cha nce to relax together with options for short walks \, arts and crafts\, maybe singing together and se ssions with a carer support worker.< /p>\n \n
We want to be as inclusive as possible\, but we are not able to take over the caring role\, rather to offer yo u a space to be together within community. We can accommodate one or two wheelchair users who can s elf-transfer\, but our site is not fully accessibl e throughout. We are happy to welcome people with dementia and learning difficulties but this break would not be suitable for people who need constant supervision.
\n \nHosting your time with us will b e Susanna Wallace\, a carer support worker\, and K athryn Brooks\, a social worker with extensive exp erience in this area. They are\, respectively\, a former and a current member of Othona's core commu nity.
\n \nIf you are keen to join this break\, ple ase talk with us about your needs so we can decide together if this will be something that will work for you. An email to bookings@othonawes tdorset.org.uk is the best way to sta rt the conversation\, which we may carry on by pho ne\, as appropriate.
\n \nIf you can afford our fe
es\, then to pay them means we can support more pe
ople who can’t. If you can’t afford our fees\, ple
ase don’t be put off but talk to us to see how we
can help.
