Dave’s Respite Register

29/07/2026

Anyone who has watched someone they love live with dementia will understand just how cruel it is. It doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed; it changes the lives of everyone who loves them.

My dad is the reason I’m so passionate about making things better for people and their families. I can’t change his journey, but I can do something that might help others in the future.

If you’re able to sponsor me, no matter how much, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every penny goes to Alzheimer’s Society to help fund research, provide support to families and work towards a future without dementia.

And if you can’t donate, I’d really appreciate you sharing this post. You never know who might see it.

Thank you so much for reading and for supporting me, it really does mean a lot 💙🙏🏻

Imagine being lost, confused, and unable to find your way home.

These ReUnite devices could make all the difference.

A simple smartphone tap gives access to emergency contact details, helping vulnerable people return safely to their loved ones.

Please share to help raise awareness. 💙

Turns out building a platform also involves becoming a part-time leaflet distributor. 😅

Out and about today spreading the word about Dave’s Respite Register. Every leaflet could help a family find the respite support they need.

⚽ World Cup fever has arrived!

It’s great to see one of our registered providers getting residents involved and bringing everyone together.

Small touches like themed decorations can make a big difference to creating a warm, engaging environment for residents and respite guests alike.

More than just a room… 💙

With a spacious bedroom, walk-in dressing area, dressing table and private ensuite, this respite suite has been designed to provide comfort, privacy and a true home-from-home experience.

Because a short break should feel like a stay somewhere special.

✨Available now to prebook 12 months in advance✨

A comfortable, home-from-home space for the people you care about most ❤️

This cosy respite room has been designed to provide comfort, dignity and a warm welcome during every stay. With a comfortable double bed and a relaxing environment, it’s a place where guests can feel safe, settled and cared for.

For family carers, respite isn’t about stepping away from your loved one—it’s about making sure both of you have the support you need. Whether you need a few hours to recharge, a weekend to rest, or simply time to focus on yourself, knowing your loved one is in a comfortable and caring environment can make all the difference.

Because caring for someone else starts with caring for yourself too 💙
