Fancy a short break?

Everyone needs a short break from time to time.

Our short breaks (sometimes called respite) services in Somerset and beyond give you the chance to rest, relax, and recharge. And your family can feel safe, knowing our long experience.

A bespoke short break with Discovery, built on your support plan, will live long in your memory whatever your own individual gifts, abilities and needs.

Our short breaks services are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Most people use their Personal Budget, although private payers are also welcome.
