Short-Term Accommodation (STA)
Your Home Away From Home
Sometimes you need a short break to feel like yourself again. Maybe you’re recovering from a hospital stay, or perhaps you need a comfortable place while your usual support is unavailable.
Short-Term Accommodation (STA) gives you the care and support you deserve, right when you need it most.
You’re at the heart of everything we do. Our STA options are designed to fit your needs, support your goals, and help you feel completely at ease in a warm, welcoming space.
What Is Short-Term Accommodation?
A Safe and Supportive Space
STA gives you a temporary place to stay with the care you need. Whether it’s for a few days or a couple of weeks, it’s much more than just accommodation.
It’s about providing real support – so you can recover, relax, or enjoy some time to yourself.
STA could be perfect if you need:
- A safe place to transition from hospital to home.
- Extra care after an illness or injury.
- Time to rest while your carers take a break.
- A chance to join in fun activities and connect with others.
