What is Respite Care?
Gorrinn Village offers a Respite Residential Care service.
Each resident is entitled to nine weeks respite per financial year.
The service is available to our independent living residents who may need a little extra care following an illness or surgery. It is also available to families in the broader Ararat community, providing carers with a break from their continuous duties.
Respite residents have access to the full spectrum of services provided by Gorrinn Village during their stay.
To be eligible for respite care, all potential residents must first undergo an assessment by Aged Care Assessment Services (ACAS). For more information about eligibility, contact My Aged Care
