Respite Care

[spacer height=”50″ display_desktop=”true” display_tablet=”true” display_mobile=”true”]
Traditionally, respite is seen as an opportunity for carers to have a break – the break may b e needed so they can rest, focus on their own health or to see to other personal matters.

Whilst the benefit of respite was initially focused on the carers; it has since been learned that respite in fact has more benefits for the person receiving the care.  At Synovum Care Centres the benefits we see are:

  • Participation in an extensive activities program, keeping their minds active
  • Socialisation during activities and meals
  • Stimulation through a change of scenery
  • New friendships – with residents and staff
  • A sense of belonging to a group outside of their usual network

The Basic Daily Care Respite Fee includes the following services:

  • Meals
  • Activities
  • Laundry
  • Medication management
  • Personal care support
  • Physiotherapy review and exercise plan

For an additional fee we can coordinate hairdressing, podiatry, transport to appointments and other services as required.
