Respite
In this section:
Menzies Support Services offers caring and flexible respite care in the home or the community.
Respite enables both the individual and their carer to have a break and recharge. We will work with you to make it a positive experience for all. Respite support is flexible and can be planned throughout the year so that there are regular or occasional breaks. Support can be for a couple of hours, a day, a weekend or more. Support may be available at short notice or in an emergency when there is an immediate need.
If you are interested in receiving these services, please contact My Aged Care and ask for a referral for respite.
