Carers need support from time to time

We offer flexible respite services to give carers a much-needed break, allowing them to rest and recharge while ensuring the person they care for continues to receive quality support. Our respite services can be provided in the comfort of your home or in a community-based setting, whether you are looking for a few hours of respite or an extended break, we’re here to help.

A Home Away From Home - Cottage Respite

From time to time, you may need a short break from your caring role. A Home Away From Home is an overnight community respite service which can support the person you care for in suitable holiday-style accommodation.

Out and About - Centre-Based Respite

You can take regular, planned breaks while we support the person you care for at centre-based activities. This can give them the opportunity to meet others in the area and explore their interests.

Flexible In-Home Respite

This service is flexible in terms of both the duration and the type of support provided, which can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the person receiving care.

Staying at Home program

Staying at Home is a free carer wellbeing and respite program for people living with dementia and their carers. It is designed to empower and upskill carers to support a person living with dementia to remain at home for as long as possible.
