Respite care to support you and your carer

Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it also has its challenges. Taking regular breaks is a great way for carers to recharge their batteries, avoid burnout and invest in other areas of their life.

To make this possible, we provide in-home respite and centre-based (day) respite to provide family members and carers with the opportunity to take a break from their caring responsibilities, knowing their loved one is well supported.

Support for you and your carer

Flexible respite care, when you need it

You can take respite care in a way that suits you, whether it’s a few hours a month or more regularly.

Support you can trust

Our professional and friendly home care workers can assist with personal care, domestic tasks, transport and provide companionship.

In your home or at one of our centres

We offer respite care in the comfort of your home, or in the community at one of our respite centres.

Help when the unexpected happens

Did something pop up which you didn't plan ahead for? We’ll be here to support your loved one, so you don’t need to stress.

Regular weekly respite care

We can provide regular support, so your carer has time to shop, run errands, attend appointments or take a break.

Evening and overnight stays

We can support you in the evenings or over a couple of nights, if your carer has other commitments.

Care that’s tailored to you

Respite care is much more than just holding down the fort.

We take a personal approach to your care by genuinely listening to you, then building a plan based on your individual circumstances – for as little or as long as you need.

Respite in your home

We base our care on what your family needs, whether it’s a few hours each week to do the shopping, a weekend off here and there, or enough time to take a well-earned holiday.

We’ll be there to support your loved one with companionship, personal care, support with domestic tasks, meal preparation and transport.
