Customer Testimonials

Family Member, Kylie Kam
"I just wanted to thank you, Louise and the staff at Willandra. I noticed the clipboard you put in place to monitor dad's liquid throughout the day and it has given me so much peace of mind. Also, dad is looking so much better and his walking has improved so much. I haven't seen him looking this good for a long time."

Family Member, Wendy Brown
"Very satisfied with ongoing care being provided to my husband over last 3 years. Very caring and supportive team of staff under the guidance of very hands-on G.M. who is familiar with each residents care needs.
Wonderful meals prepared and beautifully presented by on-site Chef include Lamb Shanks (off the bone), Atlantic Salmon, Seafood Plate and Lasagne to name a few; accompanied by some great desserts to tempt the fussiest of eaters. Residents are kept occupied with a variety of lifestyle activities including Bingo, Bus Outings, Concerts with various vocalists and entertainers, High Tea and Crafts. The home is well maintained, clean and presents a "homely" and family environment for our aged loved ones."

Respite

Respite Care – Your Home away from Home

While our Homes are known and established within local communities for permanent residential care and services, we are also experienced in providing individualised short term respite care, be it planned or due to an emergency.

What is Respite Care?

Events in life just happen, and it is in those times that short term respite can provide the help and support for carers needing a rest or elderly individuals requiring day to day care. Respite care can be planned or unplanned, and can range from a few nights to a few weeks, depending on your needs at any point in time.

Am I eligible for residential Respite Care?

Generally speaking, residential respite care is available for older persons who have carers assisting with their day to day activities and care needs. An initial face-to-face assessment is conducted by Age Care Assessment Teams to ensure you meet the criteria for respite care.

How long can I have respite care?

In a residential aged care setting, you can have access of up to 63 days of subsidised care in any one financial year. You also have the opportunity if needed to extend this by 21 days at a time.

When is Respite Care used?

At Allity, we have residents who book in regularly for respite as part of their family routine giving both the carers and the individual receiving care ‘time out’. Situations where respite care is beneficial include when:

Carers or families have holidays booked and want to ensure their loved one is well looked after in place that is familiar, comfortable and with people they know - which includes other residents and staff in our Homes.
Carers become ill or unable to provide the care and support for any length of time and want to ensure their loved one is looked after in a secure, professional and welcoming environment.

What should I expect?

We understand how distressing it can be to move away from a family home, even if it is temporary. When you come to Allity for respite care, our aim is to create a Home away from Home for our residents to make the settling-in period as easy as it can be. You can expect the same quality of care that permanent residents receive including all meals, laundry services, social activities and all of your care needs.

To find out more about Respite care options, you can contact a Home near you or send us your details and we will be in touch to assist any way we can.
