Respite Care

It is common knowledge that caregivers, while striving to give the best possible attention to their loved ones, often neglect to care for themselves, leading to high-levels of stress and reduced physical and mental health. Sudden unexpected emergencies leave many Carers in a difficult position as to what to do with an elderly family member in their charge.

Did you know that help is available at Melody Park? Because of high demand, Melody Park Retirement Village has now added new respite care places as a service for the community. Carers can now leave their loved ones in safe hands while they attend to personal affairs or recover their own health and wellbeing.

The facilities at Melody Park cater to all levels of assistance, from low-end holiday care, to high level disability and dementia care. The staff are experienced and dedicated personnel with a high level of professionalism, doing their personal best to make each resident feel right at home.

This invaluable service will increase the ability of elderly relatives to remain living at home for as long as possible, while also allowing for an easy transition into more permanent care should the need arise. 

If you are a Carer for an elderly person or an elderly person requiring assistance and would like to discuss your options for respite relief, please contact our Aged Care Respite Team at (07) 5557-1777.
