RESPITE Care offers benefits for all caring for a loved one in their ageing years, while often rewarding, can also be very tiring.
Shepparton Villages understands the commitment and care required and as such, offers respite care in their residential care homes for loved ones of those who may need a short break.

It’s not a permanent option, but it is an opportunity for both the carer and their loved one to have some much-needed time out, with the comfort of knowing that quality clinical and emotional care is provided in a secure and private environment.

All the comforts of home are provided to respite residents, including private rooms with ensuites, meals, clinical care and access to all lifestyle and leisure activities and the many amenities within the residential care homes.

“It is a fantastic option for families who want to know that their loved one is getting the standard of care they expect, while they take a break,” Shepparton Villages CEO Veronica Jamison said.

“Caring for an elderly loved one can be tiring for both parties and like all of us, we need a break from time to time.”
Those seeking respite must first undergo an assessment by calling My Aged Care 1800 200 422.
