Short stay & respite care
We're here to help
Carers are amazing, doing whatever they can to help you continue to live independently at home for as long as possible.
Sometimes, a carer will need to temporarily step away - for a few days or weeks. We're here to help both you and your carer when these times come.
We can provide short-term respite aged care at one of our aged care homes in Queensland or Melbourne. To find out more about respite care, you can visit My Aged Care.
Are you eligible?
The first step to access government-funded aged care services is to check your eligibility for an assessment. You can do this online, or by calling My Aged Care to talk about your needs on 1800 200 422.
If you have previously registered with My Aged Care, you cannot apply for an assessment online and will need to call My Aged Care.
What you can expect during respite aged care
Your assessment will state whether you've been approved for high or low level care. This will help inform how our team prepares for and cares for you.
