Milestones Trust offers short break (respite) care at two welcoming homes: Fairburn in Little Stoke and Stibbs House in St George. These services support adults with learning disabilities, including those with complex behavioural, physical and health needs. Guests enjoy a “home from home” experience with tailored support, daily routines if preferred, and a wide range of activities—from trips out to quiet time in the garden. Breaks can be booked in advance or used in emergencies. The service is designed to give carers peace of mind while their loved ones enjoy a safe and enjoyable stay.
