St Helena Respite Service

St Helena Hospice offers short-term, paid-for respite stays in a private en-suite room at its Colchester site. Designed for people aged 16+ with frailty or life-limiting illness, the service provides round-the-clock nursing care, meals, emotional and spiritual support, and access to amenities like a jacuzzi bath, gardens, and lounge. It’s ideal for those needing a break from home or for carers to rest. Stays are typically seven days and may be NHS or local authority funded. To enquire, email respite@sthelena.org.uk.
