Respite Care Newcastle

Respite care provides accommodation and personal care for a short period of time, typically from a few days to several weeks. Supported Independent Living (SIL) is long-term housing with personal care and support for people with a disability who want to live independently.

Respite care can give primary carers a much-needed break from their caring role and can be used to trial different types of accommodation and support. This can help people with a disability, and their families make informed decisions about their future housing and care needs.

Some respite care providers can offer short-notice respite, but it’s best to plan ahead if possible.
