Respite is care in a residential aged care home for a short period of time
We warmly welcome and encourage our respite residents to embrace our home during their short stay with us. If you or a loved one need a short break, we welcome you to your stay in our home. Respite care is an option for those recently discharged from hospital to recover fully before returning home or into aged care permanently.
When considering Respite care in our Home, an Older Persons Health (OPH) Needs Assessment placement confirmation will need to be provided to the Nazareth Care administration team. This assessment confirms Respite Care is available to you and details your Respite care requirements. You need to provide us with the period you intend receiving Respite care, so we may confirm your booking with us.
Respite residents pay a daily fee for either a premium or standard room. Respite is provided for 28 days per calendar year at no cost to the respite resident except the premium room fee.
If you would like more information, please visit our overview page, which provides the current basic daily care fee.
