The Commonwealth Home Support Program aims provide entry-level support to those caring for frail, older people 65 years and over (50 years and over for Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander people) to maintain care relationships between carers and those they care for by providing quality respite care so regular carers can take a break.
Overnight community respite provides overnight care delivered in all access serviced apartments in the CBD of Mildura. Services are provided for a minimum of 4 consecutive nights.
Services will be structured to allow responsive support to requests from carers including respite or services in the event of an emergency where the carer is sick or not available and cannot provide the care or support as usual.
Those staying must provide their own food, or be willing to purchase and be able to administer their own medications from pharmacy made blister pack.
You must have a carer to access this service.
