Reliable Short Breaks in Bath

For nearly 30 years, we have been providing high-quality respite care in Bath and the surrounding area. Our short breaks are personalised to meet each person’s needs and wishes. We create a support plan based on the individual, making sure each person’s stay is tailored to them.

Comfortable & Enjoyable Short Breaks

Our short breaks service is one of five provided by Dimensions across the UK. We have five comfortable bedrooms, each with a flat-screen TV, DVD player, stereo, and plenty of storage. Two bedrooms are equipped with hoists, and there is a through-floor lift for easy access.

Guests can relax in quiet spaces or enjoy activities in our dedicated activity room. The activity room features games consoles, books, board games, DVDs, and sensory lighting—perfect for relaxing or keeping busy. Guests can also enjoy baking in the kitchen or explore Bath’s local attractions.

Safety & Support

Our team works closely with families and professionals to provide safe, person-centred care. We keep up-to-date with training to ensure every guest enjoys a positive and safe experience during their short break.

I have done a lot in a short time here: I have been to the cinema, the pub, for walks and taken part with jobs in the house. It’s a friendly house and I am happy here.
