A welcoming environment
Our nine-bed residential respite service provides a safe, comfortable and supportive environment where residents receive personalised care tailored to their individual needs.
Whether your stay is planned in advance or arranged following a hospital admission, our team is committed to making every transition as smooth and reassuring as possible.
Eligibility
To access residential respite care, an assessment through the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) is required to determine eligibility.
Our friendly team can assist you in understanding the assessment process, answering your questions and helping you organise a respite stay.
Units may be purchased off the plan or, when available, as existing homes. Pricing varies depending on the individual property and current valuation.
