Respite Residential Care
Looking after someone in their own home can be a tiring task for carers, both physically and emotionally.
Often, carers are family members for whom the caring responsibility has fallen suddenly, due to illness, or significant decline in the health of the person requiring care. Sometimes the carer also has family responsibilities, health issues, or work commitments of their own, on top of caring for their family member. This is often when people start to think about needing Aged Care. Placing your loved one into Residential Aged Care is never a simple decision to make. Here at Gorrinn Village, we work with families to assist in making the transition to full time care that little bit easier. Our Respite Care services can act as a gateway to full residential care, or simply offer a few weeks break for carers. Everyone is entitled to 9 weeks of Respite Care in any financial year. If you would like to enquire about our Respite Care services, please don't hesitate to contact Reception, during office hours on (03) 5352 2654. |
