Children in respite services

We understand that trusting others with your child/ children can be daunting, especially when they are staying the night in a different environment. Our respite services offer for one or more parents to stay with their children during respite. This allows the parent to join in, or out of the caring role at their leisure while being able to see their child is safe.

Respite from home

For some people leaving their home to go to a respite service can be outside of their comfort zone. We are able to offer in home respite, where family is able to stay at the respite service accommodation, while we stay with your loved one in a familiar environment. The aims are to allow the natural supports a break from their caring role, and evaluate in that person feeling comfortable to transition to respite outside the home.

24/7 Support accommodation & independent living

Enjoy a range of options including transition into Supported accommodation, SDA and SIL options customised to your specific needs.

We pride ourselves on aligning an environment and house mates that are the right match for your growth and comfort.

All our accommodation options offer a wide range of capacity building exploration, skills and look at ways to allow you to earn your own income.

The process to moving into your own supported accommodation can take up to and in some cases over 6 months, this is due to our pursuit of high standards, correctly matching needs, location suitability, and assurance of safeguards.
