Respite Care

Caring for a senior that requires assistance with daily living can be a rewarding experience, but it can also be very demanding. Respite provides a break from this responsibility.

Respite breaks give a carer a chance to catch up with the tasks of running a household, undertake paid employment, study or volunteering or just have some free-time to recover from the demands of caring. For the senior needing care, respite offers a chance to be with others, gain additional life experiences participate in the community and sometimes have a much needed break from the carer!

Respite works best when it improves the quality of life of both the carer and care-recipient. Respite has been shown to reduce stress levels in carers, enhance quality of life and be a crucial part of maintaining a caring role.

Respite can be provided for an hour, day, night or even a couple of weeks.
