Our Flexible Respite Service Programs provide support to the primary carers of frail aged people
In-home respite provides support for carers. Respite care benefits a carer by providing supervision and assistance to the older client. By allowing carers a break, we support and maintain the relationship between our client and their carer.
Our staff take on anything from showering clients to just taking them out for a walk or enjoying a coffee while their carers take a break.
This service is provided around a care plan created to benefit all involved – carer and client – supported by our qualified staff. We pride ourselves on our flexibility in assisting the carer to get their downtime how and when they need it.
Access through CHSP
You can access this service through the Commonwealth Home Support Program, under Care Relationships and Carer Support, keeping costs to a minimum. You must be over 65 and meet other eligibility criteria.
