What is Respite
Respite care offers temporary accommodation for people with disabilities, providing a break for caregivers and a change of scenery for the individual and a safe place for recovery.
Our respite care for short-term accommodation provides a refreshing, supportive environment perfect for recharging and stepping away from daily routines. Whether you’re an individual person living with a disability or a parent caring for a disabled child, we’re here to offer the care you need.
We offer various short-term accommodation options depending on each person’s needs and location. Our facilities are staffed by trained caregivers available 24/7, assisting with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management.
Our team at Mmcare will personalise your stay, ensuring you feel comfortable in a home-like environment. We are dedicated to providing NDIS participants with the support they need in a welcoming and caring setting. Contact us today to learn more about our respite care services.
- Respite Care: Family members or caregivers often need a break from their caregiving duties. Short-term accommodation provides respite care, allowing them time off while ensuring that individuals with disabilities receive the necessary care and support during that time.
- Transitional Support: Short-term accommodation is helpful during life transitions, such as moving from the hospital to home or shifting between living arrangements. Temporary housing and support can make these transitions smoother and less stressful. Our short-term accommodation offers the accessibility features and personalised care needed to support your recovery journey.
- Rehabilitation: For individuals undergoing rehabilitation or therapy, temporary accommodation with the necessary accessibility features and support services helps them focus on their recovery while receiving respite care.
