Respite
Respite beds are available to provide a break for carers supporting someone at home.
These are available on a short term basis and are usually in multiples of week blocks, ie- 1-3 weeks.
This area provides short term accommodation and support for people who live independently but need help with laundry, meals, and personal care such as dressing and bathing.
Persons holding a current respite Aged Care Assessment approval are eligible for this type of care.
Applications are taken throughout the year although it is important to know respite fills up very quickly and people are usually required to book well in advance of their required stay.
