Where an older person has a carer (spouse, friend, relative), and the carer requests assistance to have a break from their caring role, the older person may be eligible to access community respite services.
Centre based group respite services are available at all Resthaven Community Services sites and can include group activities to encourage social interaction and may include group excursions. Carers and family members can take part in the activities or leave the person under their care in the care of trained Resthaven staff.
