GV Disability Supports can offer organised respite care in the comfort of the clients own home or within in the community

Respite allows the opportunity for a participant to be supported by us whilst providing their carer with short term breaks from their usual caring responsibilities.

Other reasons participants can receive respite:

• gives you the chance to try new things

• can be a place to make new friends or develop new skills

• may help to maintain your current living situation by giving your informal supports a break.

Respite may suit your needs if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period. 

Respite includes:

• personal care

• accommodation

• food

• activities you and the provider agree to.

GV Disability Supports covers the cost of your care in another place for up to 14 days at a time.
