The decline in Respite Care in Worcestershire has been apparent to the clients, their families and sometimes to the residential homes that they live in for quite some time.

Whoever or whatever we are, we all need a break from our normal routines to ‘recharge’ our batteries and to take on new challenges and try new experiences, developing new ideas. For people with learning disabilities and difficulties in Worcestershire and the surrounding areas the homes providing such respite care have clearly declined over the last few years, so much so that when the only remaining home offering this type of care in Worcester – located at Howard Road and run by Mencap, closed down earlier this year, it meant that the closest respite in this area was in Stourport.

Rely Care Agency Limited realised that there was an opening to continue with this care and began looking into the possibility of opening a home. As luck had it, Howard Road came on the market – however it was due to be sold at Auction in May 2010. Mrs Sarah-Louise Tongue, Managing Director of Rely Care, set about looking into the possibility of purchasing the house before the Auction date.

The rest, so they say is history in a manner of words and Rely Care purchased the home successfully, since then and throughout the last three months extensive refurbishment and redevelopment has taken place at the house and was finally registered with Care Quality Commission early Oct 2010.  We will be offering all of the people who come for respite care at the renamed Constable House individual care packages that are person centred with a wealth of activities that they are able to attend during their stay with us.

We welcome all enquiries. Telephone Constable House on 01905 422150 or the main office 01905 339331
