An essential service for carers
Respite care means support services and care that you receive while your regular carer takes a break. So, when they can’t be there to help, Newlake can help.
Because being a carer for a family member or loved one can be really rewarding but also really exhausting. It’s so important to take time out to recharge. Or perhaps your carer simply needs to attend to other tasks without worrying. Respite Care is an essential service to maintain your independence, your social life, your home and your health.
Newlake provides in-home Respite Care and is an approved NDIS and iCare provider. So, we specialise in providing respite care for families and carers of people with a long-term or short-term disability.
We are also an approved provider of Respite Care for Home Care Package holders. So, we offer respite services for carers of the elderly.
So, if your carer is away and you need a helping hand to live life your way, we can help.
