The Thomas Shop provides
respite care for people from a variety of backgrounds
to relax, experience the delights of Mid Wales and
have the opportunity to reflect.
Situated in beautiful countryside on the banks of
the River Ithon it provides a place of sanctuary and
retreat. Some people who have come to the Thomas Shop
do so to pursue a specialist interest such as reading,
walking or painting.
Carers can be offered respite on a break from the
caring role; families can come to find respite together;
or people with a disability can find respite while
their carers also have a break. Certain weeks of the
year at the Thomas Shop have been set aside for Respite.
The benefits have been quite remarkable and several
people have described them as life changing experiences.
Liz and Derek, the owners of the Thomas Shop, each
have over thirty years experience in the caring profession
and can offer a range of support to cater for specific
needs. The Thomas Shop is not a specialist ‘care
home’ for Carers or users of services, it is
a place where people find acceptance as a full guest
in the owners house. See other Thomas Shop entries
for accommodation options. |
