Short term care, either at one of our facilities or in your home
Being a carer can be tiring and demanding. Respite care can give your primary carer the time to take a holiday, look after themselves or sort out other things.
Respite care can be the perfect opportunity for older people to have a break too. Meet new people, try out new experiences and activities, give residential care a go, or enjoy a change of scenery.
Our Approach
Residential care
Goodwin offers short stays, from one week and above, in our residential care facilities. Respite is available in Ainslie, Farrer and Monash.
Day clubs
Your loved one can enjoy a fun day out of the house, in the care of our trained staff, giving you some time for your own needs. We know life can be busy. That’s why we’re here to make life as easy as we can.
Home care
A care worker can come to your home for a few hours and look after your loved one, so you can go out or take a break. Respite care can be offered as part of a seniors’ home care service including government-subsidised programs.
“I needed a bit of extra help after coming out of hospital. I was really glad to have somewhere that could care for me for a few days whilst I got back on my feet.”
