Respite or respite-care means time to relax, recharge the batteries and perhaps take the opportunity to do those things that don’t fit into life any other way. That can be finding time to socialise, exercise, enjoy a short holiday or maybe just a really good sleep in.
It is important to understand that taking a break in the form of respite care services is more than just okay; it is necessary from time to time for everyone’s continuing wellbeing. A short period of respite is often the ‘circuit breaker’ that relieves stress and helps families living with a disability maintain a healthy, sustainable long-term model of support.
For those in a relationship, it also provides precious time to reconnect. Supporting and caring for a person with a disability can be time-consuming which can put enormous strain on relationships. Time away from the routine allows couples to rediscover each other and strengthen their bond.
It is important to take care of the mental and physical wellbeing of the caregivers just as much as it is necessary for the ones they care for. Thrive’s respite care services will allow you to ensure a win-win for both parties. With respite care for aged carer and disability, caregivers can take a short break from challenging duties and restore a sense of balance to their lives. Respite care for disabled adults also helps their carers take some time to relax.
Emergency Respite: Our support workers will provide care in emergencies when the primary caregiver is unavailable or cannot offer the adequate care at that particular time. We provide emergency respite services when you need to take an unexpected break.
Residential Respite: We offer respite services in care homes or nursing homes based on your requirement without any compromise in the level of safety and privacy.
Centre-based respite: Day respite service will enable both the caregivers and the participant to feel a positive change, thus giving them a chance to recharge. This program will give access to the community offering a great way to connect with people.
Sitter-companion services: Whether it is having a friendly conversation, preparing meals, cleaning, or assisting for a short trip, our compassionate service coordinator will help you to benefit with our services.
In-Home Respite
Often, residential respite care is offered in the home and can be convenient for families that need a break. Our Support Workers can come to the family home to provide as much care as you need, for as long as you need. This type of respite might include meal preparation, daycare or assistance with any number of other everyday activities for a period of time. Perhaps it could involve outings to parks or attractions. It might be a few hours several times a week, overnight or for longer breaks. We can tailor respite to suit your needs so that everyone has the time they need to recharge.
