Are you caring for someone?

It’s very important for carers to take a break now and then.

Resthaven understands the life of a carer can be busy and demanding.

Let us help you get back into your life, while we care for your loved one.

We can help talk you through a range of respite options to support you.

The person you care for many like to join a social group, go on a bus trip, spend a day in our lovely respite cottage, or even be cared for at home while you go out. Speak with us about funding options that can help with the cost of respite care.

Resthaven’s Diversity Action Plan reflects our commitment to being an inclusive organisation.

Resthaven is a richly diverse South Australian community, founded on the principles of inclusion and unity, embracing and respecting each person’s beliefs, culture, language, background, lifestyle, life experience and values.

Resthaven’s Diversity Action Plan aligns with the Australian Government Department of Health Aged Care Diversity Framework 2017.

Resthaven has developed an operational plan. The operational plan focuses on practical, achievable and deliverable initiatives to improve service access and responsiveness for our consumers.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) offers subsidised entry-level aged care support.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme promotes independence through physical and emotional well-being, social participation and access to the community. This is a ‘wellness approach.’ This program provides a basic level of support that may include assistance with personal care, showering and dressing, preparing meals, housework, laundry, shopping and transport.

The choice of CHSP services is limited, and provided on an hourly basis. There is no income assessment to access the CHSP, and the age pension will not be affected by personal contributions to the cost of services. Services are limited, and should a person’s circumstances change, they may be assessed and approved for a higher level of care.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme also subsidises allied health services and self-management programs. Resthaven’s wellness centres offer individual and group support.

The Home Care Package Pricing Schedule contains detailed information about the range of services Resthaven delivers in partnership with you, to support your independence and preferred lifestyle, consistent with our values: Trust, Dignity, Choice.

Resthaven believes that affordable aged care should be accessible to all.

You can choose from a selection of payment options in the form of a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or a combination of both.

In some circumstances, you may apply to Resthaven for consideration of your individual financial means. Amounts payable for those eligible for government financial support are determined by government means testing.

Details on payment options are contained in the Residential Fees and Charges schedule.

Resthaven provides a variety of group programs for older people living in the community. Activities include health and wellness, exercise, social, and respite.

This brochure aims to assist residents, clients, and families to understand what restraint is, and how Resthaven practices a ‘restraint free’ approach.

Resthaven offers retirement living for people who want to continue to enjoy the freedom and independence of living life as they choose, without the worry of home and garden maintenance. When making your decision to move to retirement living, it’s important to understand how securing residency in a retirement village is different to buying a residential property.
