Respite care at The Herons

Respite care, also known as short-term or short-stay care, is a temporary living arrangement at a care home. It gives both carers, and those being cared for, a bit of time off and a chance to recharge their batteries.

At The Herons, we offer residential respite care. Everyone staying with us for a respite break will receive personalised care, tailored to their individual needs. They’ll have their own furnished room and be encouraged to take part in the life of our home and the many activities on offer.

Where are we?

We are located in Toton, midway between Beeston and Long Eaton in Nottinghamshire. The Herons is situated in a quiet residential area within walking distance to a Tesco supermarket and within close proximity to Chilwell Retail Park.

The home is easily accessible to public transport and is located near both the M1 and A52. Lovely Beeston is approximately three miles from Toton. Attenborough Nature Centre, Chilwell Manor Golf Course and Trent Lock Golf & Country Club can all be found nearby.

Chaplaincy and pastoral support

The Herons is proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our chaplain provides a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.

Activities, trips and events

We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Activity Coordinators love keeping residents active and entertained. They provide a fun-packed and stimulating schedule for people to participate in as they choose.

There’s our choir, armchair exercise sessions, baking, flower arranging, arts and crafts, quizzes, bingo, external entertainers and church services, just to mention a few of the things we get up to.

The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled.

All bedrooms have an en suite toilet and sink. Some rooms also enjoy lovely garden views, and there’s WiFi throughout the home.

Residential Care

Our residential care is all about providing a special kind of home from home. It’s our way of making sure your loved one continues to live life to its fullest and remains as independent as possible. It means they can get out and about when they want to, catch up with friends or pop to the shops, but with the added security and peace of mind that comes from knowing 24-hour support is available if they need it.

Food and drink

Mealtimes are an important part of the day here, giving our residents the opportunity to get together and enjoy freshly prepared food in a relaxed restaurant-style environment. We always offer two meal options and our chefs will happily prepare something special if nothing on the menu appeals. All dietary and religious needs are catered for.
