Short Stay/Respite Care: Rest and Recharge
Life can get busy, and sometimes caregivers and participants alike need a break.
Our short Stay and Respite services allow participants and their families to rest, recharge, and feel a change of environment.
Whether you need a short-term stay or temporary care, you deserve a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. Respite care gives you peace of mind.
STA, or short-term accommodation, is essentially respite care and can last from an overnight stay to several weeks. It provides relief for carers and learning opportunities for participants.
"Take a break while we take care of everything."
What is Respite Care?
Respite care offers a short-term accommodation solution for participants, allowing their regular caregivers to take time off.
Whether it's a few days, a week, or even longer, our respite services are flexible and made for to meet the needs of both participants and their families.
"Respite care lets everyone take a break, knowing your loved one is in good hands."
Real-life example:
They might plan a trip to a local event like Floriade—looking up when it’s open, how much it costs, and how to get there. It’s not just about the activity; it’s about engaging them in the process of planning and decision-making. We might also involve them in cooking meals—taking them shopping for ingredients and preparing the meal together.
