Our services ensure someone is available to assist if the need arises, which may be for a few hours, a day, a night or even weeks. Respite is a way of relieving the stress of being a carer. We understand it is important for carers to make time for themselves. mecwacare provides overnight or longer live-in care to clients whose regular carer cannot be in attendance or if they simply need a break. We can provide 24-hour live-in care to clients who may require a higher level of support or supervision, and we understand the importance of placing the right person in your loved one’s home for long-term care. Community access–individual provides one-on-one structured activities to give clients a social experience to develop, maintain or support independent living and social interaction and offer respite to their carer.
