Service overview

Taking time out

Carers play an important role in supporting other people. From time to time, everyone needs to rest and recharge, for their own wellbeing and to help keep these relationships strong. Whether it’s for a few hours or for an extended break, our tailored respite services give carers time for themselves and provide quality support to the person they care for. This could be in the comfort of their own home, holiday-style accommodation or activities in the community.

Service options

A Home Away from Home - cottage respite

Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but everyone needs time to recharge.

Out and About - centre-based respite

Guests can connect with others and explore their interests through enjoyable, supported activities.

Flexible in-home respite

Personalised daytime or overnight care – tailored to your loved one’s needs and routine.

Staying at Home program: Support for people living with dementia and their carers

This free program is designed to strengthen carers’ skills and confidence as they support people living with dementia to remain in their home for as long as possible.

“The team gave me the assurance that I am doing enough and the knowledge on how to reach out to more services.”
