Respite Care

A real break, both ways. Carers get to recharge; participants get something worth looking forward to, not a holding pattern.

Who it's for

For families and carers who are running on empty (or would like to stop before they get there), and for participants who deserve their time away to be actually enjoyable.

What it can look like

Planned ahead or arranged when life throws a curveball. For example:

How it works with your plan

Typically funded through your Core budget, including short term accommodation supports where respite is planned into your plan.

Our take

Respite is only a break if you trust the people providing it. Consistent workers, proper handovers and honest communication are the whole game.
