“We look forward to welcoming you to Caroline Chisholm where you will become part of our home and our family.”

Caroline Chisholm is a two-storey federation building set in extensive landscaped grounds in Lane Cove. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens and wide verandas where our residents enjoy spending time with their loved ones.

St Patrick's Villa enjoys sweeping views of Gympie and the Cooloola Shire countryside. Originally the home of the nuns who cared for the children at St Patrick's school, the historic main building boasts high ceilings, fine woodwork and glorious stained glass. Residents love the warm, homelike atmosphere.

Caring for an older relative or friend can be rewarding, but there are times when a carer needs a break. Sometimes a carer needs someone to look after their loved one while they are away or have other obligations that don't allow them to give their full attention to the person in need.
Goodwin offers respite care services that allow people living in the community to enter our aged care facilities for a short period of time. Emergency respite can sometimes be provided if available. Call the Admissions Officer on 6175 5192 for more.

At Whiddon, our respite services are designed to give you continuity of care, and peace of mind.

If you’ve been in hospital, or are recovering from illness, you may appreciate some extra assistance to get you back on your feet. You may need to look after a loved one, and need a little extra support.

If you already have some help, respite care gives your carer the chance to go on holidays or attend to daily life, knowing that your routines and requirements are being looked after, just as always. Whiddon can help you arrange respite for as little or as long as you need – it may be for a few hours, or days, or longer.

Respite offers carers the opportunity to take a few days to recharge their batteries, attend to work during busy periods, or to travel overseas, knowing their family members are in safe and caring hands.

Please get in touch to find out how our respite care service can support you and your family when you need it.
