What do we offer?
Residential respite is short-term care which aims to restore or maintain your independence. It can be arranged for a planned period of time and is available on an emergency basis. Respite care offers the resident a period of rest, care and support to increase your capacity to return home and continue living as independently as possible. For those with a carer, it allows you and your carer to take a break and ensures your care needs are met when your carer is unavailable for any reason.
Community availability

How much will it cost?
Respite care is funded in part by the Government and residents are required to pay a daily contribution.
