Information for Professionals
Vitalise services are developed in partnership with our users to ensure they are popular, relevant and tailored to meet individual needs.
We encourage and support users to embrace independence and, wherever possible, we provide our services within a mainstream, inclusive environment.
We have partnerships with over 100 local authorities and provide services for over 7,000 regular users a year.
Short break and respite care services
Our fully accessible residential Centres provide planned short breaks for physically disabled adults of all ages, and carers. In addition, Vitalise Churchtown in Cornwall caters for children and adults with physical, sensory and learning disabilities.
Our Centres are unique in combining 24-hour care and personal support with a programme of activities, excursions and entertainment.
Service users appreciate the relaxed, fun atmosphere which ensures our breaks are enjoyable for young adults as well as older guests.
Bespoke care packages
We cater for over 150 different types of disability and our dedicated team of staff will put together a bespoke care package suited to your client’s individual needs. Four of our five Centres offer 24-hour nursing care on-call and all offer personal support.
Community-based activities
Each Centre provides a wide selection of outcome-based activities in an inclusive environment. Service users have a choice of daily excursions and activities throughout their Vitalise break.
A range of themed breaks are also on offer, providing the chance to explore particular community-based interests such as cricket, fishing, art galleries and wildlife.
We offer dedicated 18 – 40 weeks at all Centres for young adults who want to participate in lively social activities.
Alzheimer’s weeks
In partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society we run dedicated weeks for service users with Alzheimer's and their partners or carers.

Accreditations and inspections
Vitalise Centres are inspected and accredited by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI). Experienced nursing staff are on call and many care staff have gained, or are studying for, NVQs in Care. All volunteers are given prior training and are required to pass Criminal Records Bureau checks.

We believe that, wherever possible, service users should retain their independence and participate in community life. Our aim is to provide a range of stimulating and innovative services, far from the traditional norms.
We aim to adapt and extend our local services, such as day services and home-based care services, to further areas in the UK. If you are interested in services not currently available in your area please contact our Contracts team.
