Contact UsWe provide breaks for disabled adults. There is no upper age limit at any of our centres. The lower age limit is 18.
A Revitalise break is a unique combination of nursing care and a holiday.
Our centres are registered to provide residential nursing and/or personal care, but in a holiday-style environment. You will not have one-to-one care constantly, but staff can be called 24-hours a day via the integrated call systems in place throughout our centres.
Our breaks are themed to cater for all your holiday needs, so whether you want a relaxing time or something more fast-paced, the choice is yours.
Revitalise centres are used throughout the year and we strive to maintain the highest standards at all times.
Yes, all of our centres are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who carry out regular inspections.
Learn more on the CQC website.

Arrival day at Revitalise is very exciting and can be very busy!
Once we have welcomed you to the centre, you will be asked for permission to take your photograph. This is then filed away with your records in order to help us make sure we provide your personal wishes are met.
We will then show you to your room and check the details of your care with you. This will include checking your medical certificate and daily living care plan to ensure that the details are up-to-date and correct.
The staff will also carry out a number of risk assessments with you to ensure that you can safely take part in the planned activities at the centre. As part of the check-in procedure, a nurse will also check for any pressure sores or other wounds, so that we can ensure we provide the appropriate care.
Medication can only be dispensed at the centre if it is in the original packaging with correct typewritten or printed labelling. This must include your name, substance, strength and frequency of medication. This must correspond with dose and administration times in the medical certificate and sufficient stocks must be provided to cover the period of the break you have booked.
Prescribed medication cannot be altered in any way (e.g. crushed). Unfortunately, any non-compliance with this may lead to future exclusion and will result in the centre having to re-order your medication following your arrival, which can lead to inconvenience for you.
Some centres cannot give ‘homely remedies’ including over-the-counter prescriptions such as paracetamol and vitamins. Please check with the centre beforehand.
If you need a special diet you must provide us with details prior to your arrival. Please inform the bookings team and detail your requirements on your booking form once you have made your booking.
We have a laundry service available at both Jubilee Lodge and Sandpipers; should you wish to have your laundry washed during your stay it will be charged at the centre as £7.50 per bag. This covers the use of the facilities and staff. Please note, essential laundry for care purposes will not be charged.
Yes, particularly if you need one for excursions away from the centre. Unfortunately we are unable to provide wheelchairs. We strongly suggest that you make any hire arrangements well in advance of your visit. In the interests of your own comfort and safety, we recommend electric wheelchair users bring a manual wheelchair as well.
Please ensure that your wheelchair is fitted with a seat belt and a power pack if you think our staff/volunteers may struggle to push you without one. Wheelchair seat belts must be worn when on excursions or if accompanied by our staff or volunteers. It’s best to bring your own seatbelt. Some may be available for purchase or hire at centre shops.
Guests are expected to transfer into a minibus seat from their wheelchair if they are able to do so without assistance. Due to Health and Safety regulations, there may be restrictions for some people using certain types of motorised scooters/power chairs on our vehicles. Powerchairs cannot be used on some excursions. Please contact the centre in advance to discuss mobility options.
We recommend that guests have headrests fitted to their wheelchairs in order to improve comfort and safety when travelling on Revitalise vehicles.
No, we have hoisting facilities at the centres. However, if you have specialist requirements for a hoist sling please call us on 0303 303 0145 prior to your arrival to discuss your needs.
We understand that many disabled people require assistance dogs to secure greater confidence and independence in their daily lives. Therefore, we welcome and host assistance dogs at our holiday centres.
Please note, where assistance from our team is required for dog walking, an additional daily fee of £10 is charged.
Please read our complete Guest Assistance Dogs Policy here.
Smoking or vaping is not permitted in Revitalise buildings or vehicles. It is only allowed in designated areas on our grounds. Please note that we do not expect our staff or volunteers to help with guests’ smoking needs.
Revitalise accepts no responsibility for lost or damaged property.
The prices we list are for the standard cost for a twin share room. Once you have discussed your care support needs with our team, we will be able to tell you which Care Support Package you will need, and the cost of that will be added to the holiday price to give the total.
We pride ourselves on quality hospitality in truly accessible surroundings. Expect the following:
