Respite Care is short term aged care, and often used when families, carers and friends need a break from caring for a frail, elderly person.

It can also be used if an elderly person needs to recover from a stay in hospital and cannot return home immediately.

Respite care can be arranged for one night, a few days or a few weeks depending on the requirements of the elderly person and carer/s.

Respite Care can be provided within the elderly person’s own home, or they can be given a bed in an aged care home for a few days or a few weeks.

Many residential aged care homes also offer short-term respite care.

Residents at Resthaven Paradise have welcomed back Year 5-6 students from Thorndon Park Primary School, this time to take part in an intergenerational activity of creating ‘succulent teacup gardens’. The project was made possible with donations of teacups from the Rotary Club of Campbelltown, as well as with assistance from the Morialta Community Shed, where the team kindly drilled drainage holes into each cup. Parents from the school contributed by donating succulent cuttings and Resthaven supplied potting mix and gardening tools.

on Monday, July 14, 2025

Caring for an ageing loved one can be both rewarding and challenging. While many seniors value their independence, there may come a time when they need a little extra help to stay safe, healthy and comfortable at home. Recognising when that time has come isn’t always easy. Often, changes happen gradually, making it difficult for families to know when to step in.
