Respite
Short Term Accomodation
Accomplish Support offers Short Term Accommodation or Respite to participants for a maximum of 14 days. Respite services provide an opportunity for participants to be supported by an experienced support worker while carers receive a short break from their usual caring responsibilities.
We understand the importance of families and carers having a break from caring responsibilities, with the knowledge their loved one is enjoying new experiences in a safe and supported environment.
How We Do It
When planning respite supports, we like to work closely with the service recipient to ensure they have an enjoyable time. We ask you to tell us where you want to go and what you would like to do. This empowers you to exercise choice and control with your care.
We also offer emergency respite, where we provide you with a safe and supportive place to stay.
Staff will provide integrated support for self-care, accommodation, food and activities, in which all agreed costs are covered by us.
