Description

Our Short Break Units
Leading Lives Short Break Respite Units are registered with the Care Quality Commission. They are designed to support family carers by providing a much needed break from their caring responsibilities.
We are also able to respond quickly in times of crisis and accommodate referrals at short notice, providing a family with valuable breathing space at difficult times.

A stay in one of our short break services gives customers the chance to enjoy time away from the day-to-day routine and to experience different surroundings and activities.
Customers can make their own choices about what they want to do in a safe and supported environment, although well trained and compassionate teams, facilitate and support activities for our guests enjoyment.
This increased choice and flexibility enables people using our services to develop more independent living skills.

As well as shared living areas everyone has their own room and are encouraged to have their personal items with them to make their stay as familiar and comfortable as possible.
Our Short break units have specialist facilities and equipment to cater for the needs of people with physical and multiple disabilities. Experienced teams understand and respond sensitively to people, which has developed a relationship of trust and understanding with individuals and their family carers.
Our Short Break Units are places where people can feel safe, make and meet friends and experience new things.

What The Bungalow has to offer?
The Bungalow is in Kesgrave, near Ipswich. Kesgrave Bungalow prides itself on offering a ‘home form home’ environment. We can have 4 customers staying with us at a time, each with their own themed bedroom with wash facilities. At the heart of the bungalow is our kitchen where laughs are had and memories are made. We have a small and dedicated staff team who are passionate about making your relatives stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. We have a garden and enjoy having BBQs and relaxing outside (in the warmer weather!)

We are always happy to have visitors come and look around The Bungalow.
