Overnight community respite
What do you do if your carer needs to take a break, is sick or cannot provide the care or support as usual? One option is Cottage Respite, an overnight care service delivered in a ‘cottage-style’ way, where you stay in a dedicated respite facility or a community setting.
How we support you
To support the relationship between you and your carer, Catholic Community Services provide Cottage Respite for short-term or non-ongoing respite. This includes respite services in the event of an emergency where your carer is sick or not available and cannot provide the care or support as usual.

A house located in Mount Gambier, provides an opportunity for you, the carer, to have from one night and up to a week (day and night) of planned respite, while the person you care for (the client) is supported by experienced staff in a home style setting. Working with you and the client, assessment is undertaken and tailored support such as personal care, medication management, and activities are provided to meet the client’s assessed needs, capacity, abilities and interests. Services and activities include a focus on daily living skills to support client independence. Staff are trained in supporting older people and people living with dementia. Transport to and from the venue may be provided, depending on you and the client’s circumstances.

Come along to one of our day respite centres, and we’ll do our best to make it the highlight of your week!

At Ozcare, you’ll meet like-minded people, make new friends, and enjoy meaningful activities, entertainment, and social connections in a warm and welcoming environment.

Our respite centres are designed for seniors in the community as well as participants of the NDIS. Whether you love music, art, games, gentle exercise, or just a good chat over a cup of tea, there’s always something to look forward to.

Attending respite also gives your carer valuable time to rest, catch up on chores, attend appointments, volunteer, or go to work, knowing you’re in safe, caring hands.

Cottage respite provides overnight community based respite for Care Recipients to allow short respite breaks for Carers (1-6 nights). Care Recipients participate in day to day living activities within the cottage home environment as well as facilitated social outings in the community. Cottage Respite is designed to support small groups of Care Recipients at each stay (3-5 people) staffed 24/7 with qualified Support Workers. Suncare will support Care Recipients and/or their Carers to create a tailored care plan to support a healthy ongoing relationship for the Carer and Care Recipient.
This cottage is located on Bribie Island.
